We haven’t made it official yet but considering he’s cheating on me and looking for apartments – I can see the writing on the wall. In the mean time, I’m learning and preparing as best I can and trying to pay down the debt as much as possible.
I have 2 questions all the threads here haven’t been able to help with.
Question 1: He’s a CF retiree with a fully indexed pension (medial release) and we make about the same between my job and his pension and side business. If I go after his pension, I’ll end up having to pay SS which I won’t be able to afford. If I wait a couple years while I get the debts paid off and can then afford SS, am I affecting the portion of his pension that I’ll get?
Question 2: We got married in the Dominican Republic. Does that matter?
Thanks to all the responders to this and other posts - its VERY helpful to have some experience to learn from.
