Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

My child's dad said he's filed for divorce (pro se) and also is including a complaint for visitation. We have a Parenting Agreement that was signed and notarized last year (which already includes visitation, financial responsibilities, custody, etc.), but he says he longer agrees with it. Recently, he stated that he no longer wants to follow through with the financial part of the agreement and says he will only give the court ordered child support and nothing more? Should I have filed it with the court? Will we still be able to proceed with the divorce?(We have been separated for 3 years now and both want the divorce.) Since he longer agrees to follow the Parenting Agreement, will the judge order us to go through mediation during the divorce hearing to create a whole new Parenting Plan? Because of safety concerns I have, the Parenting agreement calls for him to get a 3rd party for the exchanges for visitation, yet he refuses to do so. Are there any exchange centers in the Raleigh area? What are the next steps that I can take or what rights do I have at this point? Can I sue him for not following the Parenting Plan?

Your issues are too complex for a forum like this - you basically have zero idea what your rights are or how to go about enforcing them - so you need an attorney. Since you are here, obviously the first thing you will do is poor mouth that "I can't afford it' - trust me you can't afford not too. So shop around, find an attorney you are comfortable with that quotes you a reasonable fee and put your pro se baby daddy in his place.
