[25yearsmlc]

I do have an insurable interest b/c of the pension and spousal support.

But I'd prefer a buyout from our retirement accounts for the spousal support and leave the pension in place.

As an aside, the pension from the Army can be lowered IF H claims disability which he is

and that is not divisible as marital property.

It changes if he's rated at 50% or higher. Not to overcomplicate things but what it means is that

if he qualifies at half or more then we both get it. No problem.

Congress decided amputees (no, h is not) should not be punished but neither should wives with 35 years in.

If it's a partial disability - liker most, I could lose out of 1/4 and that is worst case scenario, so

my L wants me to get more up front to deal with that risk.

We'll see
