No one here who did not repersent you in your case will be able to answer you as we have not seen the pleadings. These are all questions that your lawyer should be answering for you. Ask him or her.

Your description of the details do leave some unanswered questions; however, you are very fortunate if you have not signed a consent agreement yet. It would be wise to employ an attorney to review any agreement prior to your signing it, or prior to its presentation as a decree for the judge to sign. If you are not represented, it provides an opportunity for the agreement/decree to be worded in a manner that can disadvantage you and make any appeal expensive, difficult and possibly next to impossible. Please call me if you wish to explore what hiring representation entails.
