More details to this question:
My ex-husband was told in mediation, almost a year ago, that he needs to establish paternity on my youngest son ASAP. He has not done so, giving me dates that he would do it, but never follows through.

It does not void the entire agreement. If the agreement has been ratified by a court order, you can file a motion for contempt and to compel compliance with the agreement. However, you do not need to wait for your ex to establish paternity. You can file the documents yourself.
