Okay...you definatley have some issues that need to be addressed.
First of all, since no one seems to have been keeping any sort of records, and the terms of the Decee, that ya'll start the new year with a clean slate. Meaning that as of January 01st, 2005, the ex starts paying his 25% of $40k net income (which is approximately $625 a month) in return for no arrearages. If he doesn't want to agree, then you tell him that he can deal with the courts and since the "records" are such a mess, chances are he could end up with THOUSANDS of dollars in arrearages with no recourse.
Additionally, you will present him with a copy of the children's uninsured health related expenses when applicable and will expect payment within 30 days. Again, if he doesn't like it, you will let the courts handle it and he could end up owing THOUSANDS of dollars.
If he threatens to "disappear", remind him that in today's technological age, it's impossible. The law would catch up with him and he could end up in jail...his choice.
If he threatens to "kill himself"...offer to purchase the rope, but let him know that his children would most certainly miss him.
As for your wife's spending habits...I suggest you get your pants back from her. There is no reason why you can't call the cell phone company and downsize the "plan", kids don't need cell phones, but most likely you're on a "contract" so you're stuck until the "year" (or two) is up and then you can cancel it. In the meantime, downsize the "plan" for that phone to the minimum and lock it up.
If she buys something on "credit"...send it back and take away her credit cards. If your applicances are in that bad a shape, then you can't afford "private lessons". Unless her car is a death trap...tough.
If she doesn't like the fact that you're wearing the pants, let her know that she can always leave and find another pair.
