Of course there are penalties for perjury. But you will also find that they don't often get applied in Family law like they would in Criminal law.
Your best bet, if you can prove that the perjury is to file a motion to change based on the fact that the court didn't have all the information to make the right decision. If you can't prove perjury (and we are talking hard evidence, not hearsay) then don't bother.

Bottom line, Family court is evil! It brings so much anger and resentment and we see the ugly faces of people.
It sucks when you know that so many things said were lies but you cant do anything about it. It is not about being vindictive but there has to be some penalty!!! I am assuming that if the lies are exposed at trial, atleast it would shake the other party's credibility, and from what I have been reading, judges do not like people who are not credible.
I will have my day when we go on trial
