More details to this question:
The father of my child keeps bringing me papers from a lawyer for me to sign. Are they even legal if we are not in front of a lawyer or judge? Wouldn't his lawyer send me papers instead of just having them bring them for me to sign?

Every lawyer does things differently. If he was hired to prepare papers by the father, it is not unusual to give them to the father to get you to sign whatever they may say, Nothing requires that you sign them in front of a judge. But without seeing the papers and reviewing them, a lawyer cannot tell you if you should sign them.
