In the US any person can represent themselves in court unless a judge rules otherwise (for instance the person is certified incompetent). Contact the office of the clerk of the family court in the county in which the custodial suit is to be filed for information on the fees and the procedures.

Talking to his lawyer would be the best idea. You can then return to the judge and appeal that the order is not being followed, so perhaps custody should be changed (provided you can prove that you are responsible enough).

I get the feeling either this father is in prison or is not safe to be alone with your child. If you have sole custody of your child then you can move anywhere without the father's permission as long as it's not stated in the custody order that the father has that one hour visitation right twice per month. However, if it's working out where the father and child have a bond, then it's best to see a lawyer and try to work something out.
There is only one way and that is to go to court. Having a good lawyer helps.
