The ex-wife of Staples founder Tom Stemberg is in probate court in Massachusetts to tell a judge she's OK with unsealing testimony that former Gov. Mitt Romney gave in her divorce case.

Maureen Stemberg Sullivan appeared in court Wednesday with lawyer Gloria Allred. The Boston Globe has asked a judge to lift an impoundment order on Romney's testimony in the case from the 1990s.

Romney attorney Robert Jones told the judge he has no position on the request.

Stemberg has been a surrogate for Romney, now the Republican presidential nominee, and spoke on Romney's behalf at the GOP convention. Staples was founded with backing from Romney's firm, Bain Capital.

Allred says she does not object to the newspaper's motion to modify a confidentiality order that prevents parties in the divorce from discussing it.
