Read the doc yourself, including fine print. I was laid off from a law firm many years ago and it was suggested for an atty to review before I signed exit docs. Trust me, those docs protect your employer from litigation - age and sex discrimination at least. Docs should list your severance if any and terms of your dismissal. If you don't agree to them or understand them, get a lawyer, but they are generally straight-forward. Im sure a general lawyer that does family law could assist you for a small fee. If not, try legal aid where you live or online. Good luck!
