NNP, not sure about the issue of getting spousal support vs. debt, but the main issue I thought was making sure you "lasted" until you "secure" the military retirement benefits (after 20 years). I didn't negotiate well for spousal support long term, but right now I have a roof over my head which mattered the most to me. I wonder what others think.....I do know you have to pay taxes on spousal support, but not child support.
Do you think there is any chance your H will have an awakening once he moves away??? Is he still in counseling?
