My decree states that I must do XXX, do I have to do it?

If you were ordered to do something, then you must do it!

I often get the question, I was ordered to attend mediation BEFORE applying for a modification, do I have to do it?

The answer is...yes.

You must attempt to go to mediation before filing for a modification.

You must have proof that you tried to do what you were ordered to do.  If the other party won't reply or won't cooperate, then you are allowed to move forward with the modification.

FYI:  Be sure to keep all documentation (paperwork) that proves you attempted to fulfill what you were ordered to do.   Merely making a phone call is NOT enough!
