If there was no written agreement signed at the mediation that you are writing about then you have nothing to worry about. However, if you signed an agreement at the mediation then you need to be prepared that you signed it with a misunderstanding as to what it was explained to be since you did not have legal counsel at the mediation. I suggest you should consult with a family law attorney to assist you in the matter you are writing about.
