That is why pro se people ALWAYS fair poorly in custody disputes when matched against an attorney. Now you're going to get the 1-2 squeeze at your next court hearing (Likely by the judge & opposing counsel) to sign it and be done.
Since you've chosen to proceed without an attorney, one of two things will happen: 1) You settle for what was proffered, or 2) You go bankrupt trying to handle this on your own and end up settling for even less a few months down the road when the GAL bill comes due.
