Fort Myers, FL asked in Child Support and Divorce for Florida

Q: In the process of getting divorced on our own. Need assistance with kids situation.

I am in the process of getting a divorce, i am doing it myself, i have an appt with the judge next week. But they are asking me to bring in Child Support Guidlines Worksheet. We are still friends, and we didn't want to start going through all these things, i told her i would pay for whatever the kids need and all that stuff. But i just didn't want to start going through all of this, is this a requirement or can we tell the judge, we have an agreement between ourselves? Same question goes for the Time sharing parenting plan?
