Can you not get legal aid? This clause seems to be one that would have almost no chance of standing up in court.
(As a sidenote, the difference in CS if you had shared custody would have been $800 a month, which is $9,600 a year. The $10k you got was peanuts.)

Thanks for reminding me of the CS difference. I was well aware of the numbers at the time as well. She was pushing for sole custody in court, and I had a hard timeline to move out of the matrimonial home. At that time, I was still broke, unemployed and sick with an autoimmune disease while self rep. That immediate 10k upon signing meant survival. It was on top of another sum for spousal and property. (that wasn't much larger). Welcome to poverty. It often means shitty short term choices.

But also means that you were taken advantage of. High priced lawyer versus someone who did not have proper legal advice.
Get some legal advice. If your income is low you might well qualify for legal aid. Focus on yourmotion to change access. Leave,the money,issue alone till you have gained in the access issue and then simply apply for the benefits to be shared and the CS change.
One step at a time keeping the issues separate is a good strategy.
