Answer 1

var MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
    destroy: function (options) {
        var opts = _.extend({url: '/destroy/' + this.id}, options || {});
        return Backbone.Model.prototype.destroy.call(this, opts);
    }
)};

All AJAX-based interactions are ultimately handled by Backbone.sync which takes an options object where the URL can be provided if backbone's default URL scheme doesn't work for your server.

You can pass it when calling destroy.

this.model.destroy( { url: "your-custom-url/" } );
