It sounds like you need an allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody) order. Without one either of you have access to the child. The fact that he pays support does not give him a superior right to the child.

Child Care can be factored into the child support worksheet. For example, if mother is paying the child care, then the amount she pays per month should be credited in her column on the worksheet, which would change the amount of child support.
She has filed a no contact order and I signed it, but it has exceptions. Mainly, that we can communicate via a specific app and only if it is in the best interests of the children.

You have to comply with the order. Generally they are phrased in terms of allowing discussions pertaining to the children.

He can only keep the biological child from you if he believes that you are endangering the child. In that case, if you disagree, you will want to file for child custody or file for a modification if you already have a custody order.
The father of the child agreed to terms for fear of losing his child. 5 years later, the mother of the child does not enforce the parenting plan, and encourages the plan to be broken ESPECIALLY when it is in her benefit.

A parent's failure to comply does not void the court order. Either party can move to enforce the order with the court. Unless Mother has sole decision making, Father should have direct access to medical and educational records.

A continuance can be granted by a Court for any number of reasons but usually it needs to be for good cause. The granting or denial of a request to continue a hearing is within the discretion of the Court.

The court is on its own timeline so you can not compel a faster order. It may be that there is a minute order, an informal order, in the case file that can be obtained earlier. You could also call the court clerk to see if you can find out any information.

Most likely it means that your request was granted. However without seeing the order it is hard to say. Each courthouse has a self represented litigants center. They might be able to help you.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. If he is violating a court order with regards to parenting time, you can enforce the order. Most parenting plans have an anti disparagement clause and if he is violating that, you can enforce the order.
I filed custody for my kids, and their absent dad said he works for a bank so he has more than enough legal help to fight and gets what he wants out of this custody case. Should I believe him? Do I need to get a lawyer as well?

You could attempt to use the letter to justify a move, however he may claim duress. It sounds like he may have written the letter in an emotional moment. Also, not knowing what he has to say about the situation precludes any kind of assessment of the strength of your position.

You can call the Court and ask if you are a party to the proceeding. If you are not, then domestic relations matters often are not available to the public, especially those involving children.
