You have the right to cross anyone she calls. If you want to call them, I would list them and subpoena them. I would want to make sure the past court docs, etc., that I was relying on be put into the record. Otherwise, how do you expect to appeal, much less win this motion? Consider carefully each fact you need to prove. Anticipate the evidence in opposition.Then make a list of what you will be introducing to achieve those goals. Then make sure all of that evidence gets put into the record.
