Can my former counsel (during the time of the final judgment/mediation) testify or via written statement, as to the intention of certain phrases or words in the stipulated final judgment for clarification hearing?
or can the mediator testify to the meaning/intention of those words or phrases?
basically the item up for clarification was discussed in depth at mediation and i was assured of it's meaning/intention. I was weary of the terminology and was assured by my attorney that it meant nothing.... obiviously she does not have to live with it.

Yes, but you'll be waiving attorney-client privilege, so I wouldn't go this route.

No way.

I don't know what you're referring to, so I can't comment further.
