Yes, every time you call or talk to a lawyer they will bill you. Every time they show to a court date, meditation,or meeting they will bill you. When I got my divorce I would not call my lawyer because he would bill me if I did. I mailed him questions or comments. I wanted to keep the cost down as much as I could.
A stipulation of settlement indicates that the parties to a legal dispute have arrived at a formal agreement resolving their dispute. If you are one of those parties and the other side has presented a stipulation of settlement and you don't agree then you will need to fight it out in court. Your best option is to engage the services of an attorney and present the attorney with the facts, so that the attorney can represent you and your interests in the settlement.
Mediation in a dispute.
Since the parties did not wish to go to court, they went into mediation to solve their dispute.
An "out of court settlement" means that the parties to a dispute reach an agreement to settle that dispute, and they do it without a judge making any type of order about the terms of the settlement. Quite literally, the "settle" the dispute "out of court". Most lawyers are always in favor of an "out of court settlement" because the cost of taking a claim (a dispute) to court is usually quite high. When a dispute can be settled without intervention of the courts, it is most often the best outcome. There are exceptions, of course, but your attorney will be able to guide you.
A dispute is a disagreement or conflict between parties over an issue, such as money, property, or a right. It can lead to a variety of legal actions or methods of resolution, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

Two alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods are arbitration and mediation. Arbitration is where the dispute is given to a third party who makes a ruling on which party is correct. Arbitration may be binding or non binding depending on the agreement of the parties. The other method is mediation where the parties explain their dispute to a third party who works with both sides together to find a settlement to which both parties agree. The mediator makes no decision that binds the parties.
