    Do disability laws affect family law decisions is one part is determined disabled af
    Party was determined disabled after signing a mediation agreement that left the party destitute
    Party is determined mentally disabled at the time the document was signed
    Party was without representation
    Party attempted to alert judge pro se
    Request was deemed "moot" by judge
    Other party retained all property, bankrupted joint debt and the disabled party is being held responsible
    Disabled party signed poa to other to act on behalf and then other bankrupted the property leaving disabled responsible
