Separation agreement signed

I met with my attorney yesterday.  We went through everything and hammered out the separation agreement.  H came and signed it, grabbed lunch and went back to work while I sobbed the majority of the afternoon.  He signed a waiver to appear in court so he won't even have to go.  In my state you have a 60 day waiting period so I should have a court date sometime after that.

He didn't argue anything - cars, parenting time, holidays, etc.  It's like he doesn't even care.  And it kills me.  We are putting our house on the market and I am getting a new car so I have a lot to do still.  

I did have one question about getting child support started.  Do I just call the child support office?  I emailed my attorney that question today but he was out all day.

    btw, I guess it wasn't really a separation agreement.  I was going to file for legal separation at first but yesterday (after some conversations with H about him not wanting to try)  went ahead and filed for divorce.

    My attorney filed for the child support. She said it was quicker for her to do it than the state.

    Even though it will be handled/collected by the state, my family attorney drew up the child support papers based on the state guidelines when she drew up the other papers.

    Thanks, my attorney did this too and attached the paper with the others.  I just didn't know if I had to do anything to get it started.  He said we could go through the state or just have ex write me a check every week.  He recommended going through the state so that's what I'll do.

    Nope, that paper should do it all. I am going through the state from the get go as well. Here the person paying CS sends it directly to the state and the person receiving it has a debit like card that any money received by the state for CS goes on. Also that way, I think it will be easier to separate CS and visitation (no asking/exchanging of money during visits) just like the state wants anyway.
