A judge in the Boston area has delayed by one day a hearing involving famed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who is seeking to have the court unseal testimony given by presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a contentious divorce case involving his good  friend, the former CEO of Staples, Tom Stemberg. The hearing is now scheduled for Thursday at 9 a.m. EST.

The decision to delay the hearing came after Allred arrived at court Wednesday morning with Stemberg’s former wife who intended to tell the judge that she does not object to unsealing testimony given by Romney in her divorce case.

As Breaking Celebrity News has previously reported, Allred's so called ‘October Surprise’ for Governor Romney involves allegations about a child custody matter that the Republican presidential hopeful testified about involving Stemberg and his divorce form one of his two ex-wives.

The founder of Staples, who spoke on behalf of  Romney at the Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay, Florida last summer, has four sons from two different ex-wives, Maureen Sullivan Stemberg and Dola Hamilton Stemburg. Mitt Romney's hedge fund, Bain Capital, was an early investor of Staples. Tom Stemberg's sons are in their mid-teens and early twenties.

"Governor Mitt Romney gave sworn testimony about his observations of Tom's role as a father to his four sons," a source close to the situation told Breaking Celebrity News. Our source wouldn't provide any additional information because of Governor Romney's sworn declaration and gag order
