I live in the state of Utah. I received divorce papers last week and was disheartened to see that I would have to pay about $1000 a month in child support and $500 a month in alimony AND pay the court fees, but I only make about $45,000 a year. I went to see a lawyer and he said it's a basic calculation for child support, but we could probably get the alimony down. I can't really afford his fees, so I went home and spoke to my wife who hasn't left yet. We both just want a quick divorce, and she agrees that I can pay her $500 a month in child support and no alimony. I wrote up my response to the divorce papers suggested by the lawyer: (Paragraph 1 - Admit, Paragraph 2 - Deny, etc.) but where I said "Deny" I wrote, "This paragraph should say, "Defendent agrees to pay $500 a month in child support." Is that kind of wording allowed? How do I respond?
