We are finalizing our settlement order and the consent form states the following:
"The parties certify that this order does not affect any party under a disability. "
I am interpreting this clause to mean that the order is not affected in the event of a disability of either party and this is not reasonable.
The response I am receiving from my ex-spouse's lawyer goes like this:
Can someone please help me understand this?

The response I am receiving from my ex-spouse's lawyer goes like this:
The word disability refers to a legal disability such as mental impairment for which a guardian must be signed and involved.
If there was a disability the public guardian and trustee would need to be involved.
That is clearly not the case here.
In simpler terms, the consent is just for the approval of the order and the clause affixed is only for consent not the order itself.
