You should not sign those papers. You should file an answer to her Petition for Divorce, and include what you want. By law child support is based on your incomes and number of children. Alimony is based on income and debts. If you earn minimum wage your child support would be a small amount. She is not entitled to half of your retirement, You need to fight this.

You may call for a free consultation.
