[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the perspective, everybody. My divorced friends didn't have kids or it wasn't this messy.

You're right: the pension is the big issue here, and I need to split the present value or nothing. The child support and mortgage rankle because he's effectively stolen tens of thousands of dollars from me, and I've only shown you the tip of the iceberg about what he's doing both in the negotiations and outside. But I'd definitely take splitting the current value of pensions if I can be rid of him forever.

To the PP who asked about college, we already have one kid in (an expensive) college and DS is headed there next year. Yes, XH's counter proposal did have a college plan. That's that my mother contribute $50k a year to the kids' colleges. You read that correctly, my mother. In a formal proposal via his lawyer who I can only guess has no ethics or pride. Needless to say I rejected that one and I'm trying to get a commitment in writing that he'll contribute his own money..[/quote]

OP, he didn't steal that money from you.  Child support is for your kids, not for you.  In less you live in a state that allows for child support after age 18 or college, you are not going to get any help from the court regarding college costs.  You also are only going to get child support retroactive from the date of filing.  A judge most likely is not going to give it to you (but could) for the six months if there was no pending hearing.  Stop threatening and file for child support.[/quote]

It's u n l e s s, not in less.  Jesus.[/quote]
