Divorce Support Forums: Deadbeat!

I thought my ex and I had a great arrangement... We did a self-divorce (no lawyers) about 3 years ago and decided to split time and expenses with our son 50-50. It worked for a while! Then my ex started getting serious with his current wife 2.5 years ago, and since has not been paying for our son's medical bills, daycare, prescriptions, or school expenses - to the tune of over $3000 (that's only his half!!!). He's strung me along over the years - promising to pay daycare (only to let it fall $400 behind) or promising to pay me $100/month (only lasted 1 month). Thankfully, my current husband is man enough to not bat an eyelash when it comes to financial support of our children! Now my X's new wife insists on being a part of all the financial decisions... I think she MAKES all the financial decisions because she told me - I have it in writing - that paying me back for my son's expenses is a very low priority for her... and since she entered the picture, I haven't been getting paid. Unfortunately, I make more money than my X does, so pursuing this through the court system would probably do nothing but earn me a monthly child support payment. Does anyone know - will the Kansas Child Support Enforcement help me recover the $3000 he owes? I don't want child support or change the parenting plan - I just want what is owed to me. If not - who can I count on? What should I do??? Note - I have documentation (statements and receipts) for all $3000 owed to me. Thank you!!!!!
