No an attorney can not stop him, they can merely represent you at the hearing. Child support is based on a state formula, so if he income has increased or decreased, or if other changes take effect it is always subject to change. In some states, his getting married or having another child has no effect what so ever, in some states that is all taken into effect.
So at court, he will provide them his details, proof of income, may require you to provide proof of your income. After that the judge merely puts it into a formula and tells both of you what he is required to pay.
As for child visitation, yes he can, and since he can not see the child on weekends an extended time in the summer, ( and six weeks is actually very short, he could be asking for 8 to 10 and may easily get that.
So I see no reason he should be easily win just 6 weeks, and most likely a week at christmas or thanksgiving if he asks for that also.
I would say if he has been paying and trying to see the child this is not only reasonable but to be expected. Unless you can prove he is a danager to the child, I believe he has a very good chance of having this awarded
