PLEASE, do not sign anything without discussing this in detail with a family lawyer. If finances are an issue, many attorneys will work on a payment plan. The State Bar can refer you to agencies that provide free/low-cost legal services. You need to protect your child, and before you agree to anything at all, you need to understand exactly what the legal consequences are.
