You can try to contest it, but it will likely not work. If you attorney had documents and you didn't review them before mediation, that isn't a reason why the agreement shouldn't stand.
We've only been married for two years and we've got a 1 year old daughter
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you'll be looking at issues concerning custody. Since it's not a long term marriage asset and debt division should not be difficult to deal with. Do your medications cause any issues with your parenting?

I'm not sure what your actual question is. Is it will he be able to take the child to his facility outings? If so, it depends on if it is an appropriate environment for the child, and it sounds as if it is not.

You can try to set aside the agreement. However, this is investigation that it seems like could have been done prior to reaching an agreement, so the court may not set it aside if you didn't do your due diligence in advance.
The trauma is from the abuse she suffered at the hands of mother. Can a judge hear it or is the agreement binding.
A judge always has the final decision on custody and the best interest of the child. If you learned of the abuse after the mediated agreement, then you need to immediately bring this to the court's attention.
We have a son together that she has made no effort to contact since middle of Sept 2020. We habe been separated for a year. I got him due to her using drugs right after the separation.

We are currently separated, will I be responsible for the child
She does not need your consent to divorce. If you do not adopt the child, it will not be your responsibility. Make sure you represented in the divorce so the paperwork is clear.
Responsibility and everything in her name is her responsibility. The paperwork Doesn’t say anything about social security. So does that mean she can claim a part of my SS?
No. If you were married for at least 10 years, your spouse can draw SS based off of your income, but it doesn't take anything away from you.

i have lived with my mom since my parents got divorced. i have thought about running away so many times. she always yells at me and is always super mean to me and my brother. im 14, and my brother is 10. we both want to live with our dad. but he is really far behind in child support.
I’m sorry to that you are not happy at home with your mom. At 14 you can’t just run away and decide where to live. Your dad could consult with an attorney to see if there are options for him to get primary custody. Try talking to your mom about the problems and see if it helps.
So if I’m using my vehicle and phones for work, would that still be used as a “personal expense”?
There are numerous factors that go into determining child support. Owning a business isn’t going to necessarily hurt or help you, it all depends on the factors when child support is determined. You income and expenses will be considered whether you own a business or work for someone who does.

We have temporary guardianship and her parents used to live with us, but she has lived with us since she was born.
I’m not sure what you need advice on or what the question is. You have the temporary guardianship. Are you wanting to end or extend that? As long as that is in place the child can stay living with you. If she decides she wants him back then she would need to terminate the temporary guardianship.
We married because he is the father of my daughter and was in this country on a student visa.
You would have been served with divorce papers if he had filed. If you want to remarry you may want to consult with an attorney who can help you with your divorce. Once the divorce is finalized then you will be able to remarry again.
