My bf soon to be ex-wife has been holding on her divorce papers for 3 months before put her sign on them. Now we got them back but she wants more child support than what he offer. He's willing to give it to her because we really wanna get this done. Now, if he accept it, does he have to give her back the papers so that she can sign them again?She lives in a other states and I'm worried she's going to keep them for other 3 months!We are doing this with a paralegal but it seems like she's not helping us very much! Thank you for your help!

First of all, if she signed papers agreeing to the current child support and you have the papers back, dad is under no other obligation. If she signed an agreement, file it withthe court and be done with it. If she starts keeping the kids from seeing dad in order to get more money, document it. Record her phone conversations, or better yet, tell her to put it in writing... then DUMP the paralegal... they are NOT attorneys and should NOT be doing this divorce for you..... GET AN ATTORNEY! It is against the law for a paralegal to represent his or herself as an attorney, and they are supposed to work under the supervision of an attorney! Good Luck to you

He has children and a former marriage to handle. This generally takes months when the wife needs support. The husband has a new woman, a new life, and a lot of freedom. He works, goes out, has chioces who he dates, and she feeds kids, gets them on the bus and to the school and has to work her life around this aspect.
Of course she's not helping! would you if you had loved and invested and made children? would you want to help your husband run off, ignore you, leave you behind and start over? At least in open polygamous marriages the new wife gets the affection and the first wife gets status. Our nation tells you a divorced wife is just a whiner and a spoiled woman, she deserves nothing but some money. In other countries if a man wants more then one wife he has to pay for all of them!
Now all your man has to do is pay her some more child support, and wait a few months? he can let go of his promises and obligations to sustain her, look after her and honor her. How well is he going to keep you?
Ask around a few months is pretty normal and ordinary in a court custody, child support type case. You want him, love him, need him? keep him and all his baggage which is considerable.

In Maryland, and I doubt others states wouldn't be simular. There are strict guidelines for support, and that number if off the guideline will be adjusted accordinling. Just because you are using a paralegal to draw up your papers, doesn;t mean you shouldn;t consult with a lawyer.
I know we went through court mediators which were free and did a good job at bringing us to an agreement on custody.

settlements on divorce for childsupport is decided by the courts based on income... she can want more.. dont agree to anything.. let it be discussed in court cause most states have to look at how many kids.. and the financial situation of both parents.. her income can actually make her get less money since both parents contributed equally both parents have to balance paying..
Mattering the states.. child support is the main issue of discussion during the proceedings.. get a lawyer.. cause if you settle before then you cant fix it later

it doesn't matter what he offers... if it's a low amount she can go to social serves and they'll make him pay no matter what the divorce paper says.
and if she already signed them then she has agreed to what was in them.

This has nothing to do with you, this is between him and his wife. She can take as long as she wants. You can not be putting your nose in her business, that will only make her mad.

turn them in,she signed and its done. if she wants to fight it she will have to take him to court to get more and that means money cost for her and also having to come where you are to go to court. more then likely it wont happen, and then the judge will deciede how much she gets and not her.
