Should I waive spousal support forever to get this done?

Slow down. A permanent waiver of spousal support means you cannot come back to court for support EVER, even if you become disabled, lose your job, or his income triples. After a long marriage that's a significant right to give up. Often what people actually want is to terminate the court's jurisdiction over support after a fixed number of years, not forever. There's a real spectrum: reserve jurisdiction / set zero with reservation / step-down to a date certain / permanent waiver. Each has very different long-term consequences. Please get a 30-minute paid consult before signing — this is the kind of decision where the cost of being wrong is enormous. General info, not advice for your case.

Co-signing Carmen's reply. The single biggest 'I wish I had known' I hear from clients five years out is a permanent support waiver they signed under pressure. The other side wants speed because speed favors them here. Take the extra month.
