I know it's super hard to do, but any chance we can get her charged with perjury?

Making this as short as possible- My husband's ex filed a petition to modify custody. She wants sole legal custody with supervised visits only. In the petition, she stated that he had done certain things that she was witness to. We have solid proof that said things did not happened and that the events are fabricated. We will use this evidence in family court. That is not my question. My question is this: Any chance we can have her charged criminally with perjury since we can prove she is lying? Again, I know it's rare, just wondering if possible.

    @harwarda: Are you more interested in what is right, or trying to ensure someone gets away with breaking the law? Consider that carefully- the answer says HUGE things about your character and your motivation.

    Absolutely, it is possible. I suggest he has a lawyer handle the modification and change of custody. He will know how to have her charged with perjury.

    I would speak with a lawyer, but if she takes the stand, and under oath as a witness, lies, and proven to be lying, you could attempt to charge her. A lawyer would better explain the options and process.
