And was told I might not qualify for a free court appointed attorney. What other options do I have?

You cannot withhold support unless you get a court order to do so. You say the incident happened in France but don't say where the children live. If they live in NY, you can go to Family Court and ask for an order of protection on their behalf.
The order of visitation is a court order that needs to be followed. If you don't follow it then you are in contempt. Try working this out with the other parent. See if they will agree to a test here in NY for the virus.
You say it is on the "transcript", if it is on the COURT transcript then the court should modify the order and there is nothing to sign. It the transcript is something else it probably doesn't comply with the requirements to modify an agreement. You should take it to a lawyer and... Read more »

ex acknowledges agreement. should our newer agreement supersede older divorce agreement? Should i win court case?
The problem you will probably run into is that your divorce agreement probably has a clause that says the agreement can only be modified by a writing acknowledged in a certain way. If you didn't follow that requirement, you probably won't win.
This is something that the divorce attorneys here would know best, but you await a response for four weeks. There are some resources listed here on Justia under the heading, "New York Divorce Legal Aid & Pro Bono Services." Here is a link to the page on this site:... Read more »
If you agree to change the stip, it would be an agreement, but it does not change the court order. For it to be totally binding you need to get the stip "so-ordered" by a Judge. Contact a local attorney.

There are way too many factors to consider in answering this question on this forum.

If she did not sign a stipulation then there is no "agreement". Either way, if you have a court order an d she agreed to lower the payment you need a new order from the court. You say she "agreed" in writing. If it is only in as letter or text, that might be evidence, but it is... Read more »
A judge will speak to the child to see what his wishes are if the parents don't come to an agreement. While the child's choice carries a lot of weight, it is not binding on the court and the judge still has to decide what is in the child's best interests. If the child turns 16... Read more »
