CMV: Child support money should be used by the caregiver however they see fit

Child support money should be used by the caregiver however they see fit. They can use it on themselves, to buy stuff for themselves as long as the child is getting all their needs met.
The reason for this is because the caregiver pays for the child whenever it’s required. For example, if the child needs to go to the dentist, the caregiver will pay for it with their own money when necessary, not wait for the other parent to pay child support in order to pay for it half and half. Let’s say the dentist appointment is 400€/$/£ (whatever currency you want to use). That means the caregiver is at least 200€/$/£ short that month because they had to pay for the child. So the caregiver is entitled to spend 200€/$/£ from the child support on whatever they want.
Another argument is bills. The caregiver needs to pay for a bigger apartment/house, pays more for bills because the child uses water, electricity, heating etc. The caregiver pays the bill themselves, therefore they are entitled to spent at least 1/4 the amount they pay for the bills/rent out of the child support however they want.

the direction makes sense but the details are messy which explains why reactions are split Time will tell.

On the surface, this solves one problem while creating another Curious how this plays out.

From a neutral view, the main issue seems to be how this is handled At least from my perspective.
