Sorry, I missed this question.

I am going to be 100% completely honest. If my D was going though this EXACT scenario, I would suggest to her that she really try to work on the marriage. She has a husband that is willing to try. He is supportive of her position and owns up to his personal mistakes he made during the marriage. He also wishes to fix them. I would then advise her that she has a whole lot to lose by not making an effort....basically exactly what her own parents have told her.

Sorry, I meant the current financial situation. Would you expect your D (and I said D because that's your family, it could also be son) to walk away with nothing $350 a month, if in fact (and we don't know in your sitch) they were legally entitled to more?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
