As we have no idea what you are talking about and no idea what it is you are being asked to sign it's impossible to respond to this question meaningfully.
I made all charges to the debt myself and never with her
Debt incurred during the marriage is considered community debt. Distribution of debt during a divorce has more to do with each party's respective ability to pay down that debt rather than about who incurred it during the marriage.
This question is unclear. Mandatory timeline of what? If you are unable to draft a clear question here you would be better served by contacting an attorney directly.

Documents say you shall not hold back from either party from talking to the kids. We used to do cell phone, my daughter got a computer from school and I noticed she was emailing her mom.

"Can" ?? There really isn't enough information here. You mention "documents". Are you referring to court orders? It's unlikely that his taking the computer away is ok or acceptable. Without knowing what is in your court orders, it's difficult to say what... Read more »

She only drops her off when convenient and will not give her to me even on my days off. Instead she drops them off at a caretaker and says my... Read more »

My spouse has paid nothing for or to this house and I would like to remove them before filling for divorce. The bank still owns the deed and we are together on the mortgage but I pay everything. We've been in this house for 20 months.

I'm assuming 1) you were not married to the father; and 2) there are no existing custody orders in place. If there are custody orders in place, then you need to amend... Read more »
Depends on what you are talking about. If you don't the "sensitive information" in the settlement agreement, then don't include it. For example, when I draft judgments, if a bank account is being divided or turned over to the other party, I only include the last 4 digits of... Read more »

My paralegal says it's common to leave it to be amended at a later date. Is this true? Both parties are in agreeement for the division.
Usually, when I'm preparing a petition and I don't know the extent of separate and community property, I will say so in the petition and also state that that information will be obtained during pre trial discovery. However, if you DO know, i.e. you can create such a list, there's no... Read more »
