Listen, CoPtA and her lawyer negotiated what was in her best interest at the time, and it probably still is (five years vs. potential indefinite). She'll get through this. Let's try to stop ranting about her financial obligations toward him. It sounds like she has a good lawyer with whom she is working closely.
Agree COMPLETELY. I was in a similar situation for years, and the constant "I can't believe you pay that" became very wearing after awhile. It is what it is, and once you have agreed to something, in most states it can be very difficult to change the dollars absent some huge change of circumstances. It was best for my mental health to just make the payments, knowing there was a foreseeable end.
