Providing for a child

Hi guys.

I'm looking for advice.

My partners ex has a child with him and also 2 others with her current partner.

My partner pays more than the entitled child maintenance amount.

Recently she has limited contact and has suddenly asked for us to also provide her with clothes for the child (even though this is included in child maintenance).

Due to my work background I believe that the welfare of the child is poor and that the child would be well suited to live with us instead as there are signs of neglect.

How would I go around talking to my partner about this ?

I know that he has to do the right thing in clothing the child but I believe this is the mums duty of care( who the child lives with) to buy out of the child maintenance.

I don't want to sound like a bit*h but I don't agree with him being guilt tripped into providing more when he does that anyway?

Help please :).
