Debt Distribution Etc

04/15/07 10:50 PM

I have been married for close to 20 years. Even though I have an advanced degree I have been a SAHP for reasons related to the nature of my STBX career, we have been living in small villages and moving too frequently for me to get into anything meaningful. The plan was I tough it out and when we finally settle in a big city I can start doing something. But STBX is calling it off now and timing it to inflict maximum financial damage on me.
We have a 12 years old daughter. We are fighting for custody. As a SAHP I understand that my chance for primary custody is great. The problem is the STBX is now manipulating and brainwashing the kid so she can bring her before the judge and have her state that she wants to end up with STBX. I have a great loving relation with the kid. Our bond is unbreakable. But the STBX manipulations have been on full gear. The kid is under the impression that if she stays with me she will be too poor, if she goes with STBX she will be super rich. In a year STBX will be making in the range of 400K.
What can I do to get custody while minimizing the psychological damage to the kid from a lowly STBX manipulations?
The other question is STBX now makes about 80K. What is fair child support and spousal support now and after her income goes up a year later to around 400k and for how long?
The last question is we have high credit card debt and a student loan in my name. I took that loan only because she had no income at that time while she was preparing for her professional exams. At that time I made enough income to cover the cost of my education and got the student loan only to support her obtain professional license. Right now I am out of work, in my mid 40s, and in all likelihood will need to go back to school to get up to-date and join the work force. This will take time. Even when I join the work force, my STBX will be making close to 10 times what I will be making. How is the debt to be allocated? It doesn't seem fair that I get 50% of it. Any ideas will be appreciated.
