Alimony vs. debt

[kairilara]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Since my STBXH makes more than I do I know I could ask for alimony. Would it be wiser to trade debt for alimony payments (i.e., trade one bill of $600 for alimony payments equalling $600) or does that just leave me open to him not paying his debts (that is his history) as well as losing alimony?

Please advise!
