SEARCH THIS SITE TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED!
Fed up with your ex’s lies in Family Court? Here are some legal tips about what to do (and what not to do) to stop your ex from getting an advantage in your divorce or parenting case.
One of the most challenging situations people face in family court, is hearing their exes lie. Your ex may lie about the children or parenting matters to get custody of the children – even going so far as to make false abuse allegations. Lying in court can be tied to concerns about parental alienation. Money is a big motivation for people to exaggerate, if not outright lie about their finances. To get more child support or spousal support, one spouse may make up stories about the other’s finances in the hope of convincing a judge that his or her ex has more money.Is it perjury? Do judges even care?
In this edition of the Ontario Family Law Podcast, your host, Certified Specialist in Family Law, John Schuman, goes over how judges perceive and respond to parties lying in Family Court. In addition, he explains some strategies about when and when not to make an issue of those lies, and how to get the biggest benefit when you do.
