Can I back out of this?

No. You can't prove your ex has violated her word, and the signed agreement will supersede any verbal agreement if the judge enters the writting agreement.

>Would it help if my attorney files a motion to obtain more
>visitation, as no court action has been taken yet?

If your attorney files a motion for visitation, your ex will produce the signed agreement, and you will have to show why you shouldn't be bound to that agreement. Legally, a person must be pretty dim to not be held do an agreement. However, courts sometimes will refuse to enforce a custody agreement made without legal representation.

It really depends on the judge. I can't tell you what's likely to happen.
