How does a ch 13 person purchase needed items?

So let me get this straight, your household size has increased from 1 to 4 on the same plan payment? Does she have any income?
I'm not so sure keeping the house is such a bad idea, but you have to budget for the maintenance in the rent vs buy decision. It might push you one way or another. Sounds like you probably should have moved in with her, let the bank take the house back, bad A/C and everything.

Side note... deadbeat means that they do nothing. If the girlfriends ex wants to see their kids everyday or week, then that's not a deadbeat.

Be careful of those labels, bankrupt people wear one too!

Let's put it this way.... if the child support were waived entirely he'd give his time up with the kids in a heartbeat and would gladly let his ex move in with me.

Maybe your GF can buy a new airconditioner as a fee for the storage of her 4 truckloads of stuff.

Perhaps... beings I can't have my paycheck, I can't have my gf, I'm walking around looking at all her stuff... lol I'm sure that'd go over like a lead balloon.

Sounds like a great opportunity for you to find an apt or rental home with your GF in the kids' school district. You get to give up your house albatross, you can both contribute to the rent, the kids don't have to change schools, and the GF's ex can spend more time parenting and less time lawyering.
