I've just gone through a divorce where my former husband and I agreed on a spousal support amount. What I'm wondering is - since we agreed on the amount and the parallegal filed the paperwork with the courts.....is that now considered "court ordered"?

The courts will generally except whatever agreement is submitted by the parties as long as the agreement does not violate pubic policy.

Unless the "paperwork" was filed with the court and the court signed an order for that amount of support then no, it is not court ordered.

if it has a judge's signature after your signatures and a file stamp showing it was filed....it IS COURT ORDERED.

You should get a document back entitled "Judgment" It will have been signed by a judge and filed with the court clerk. That's a court order and the contents of the document are then "court ordered.
