Ok. My disclaimer before I start. I know that in family law there is no such thing such as perjury and the consequences for pretty much anything are pretty minimal.
I have had tremendous success on custody in most part due to 1) the fact that I am a good Dad and a decent guy and 2) my ex lost credibility pretty much every time she made a statement.
All of that behind us on Custody and Access we now move to Financial.
Despite signing what is a very valid pre-nuptial agreement that has almost zero change of being challenged my ex has none the less used legal aid to fight tooth and nail to have this struck down and go for full spousal indefinitely (marriage lasted 5 years).
Interestingly in her sad attempt to challenge it she invented the claim that we both agreed to create the pre-nup but with the verbal agreement to strike this down a few years later. Why? Who knows. Its weak at best.
So we had this verbal agreement to kill the pre-nup "one or two years later". Hmmm.
It gets better. In a sworn document she claims that she went to a lawyer to have a contract written up to have the agreement terminated and then presented this agreement to me. Again I don't know what purpose it serves because if I didn't sign it...it isn't an agreement.
We both know that this agreement was never written nor presented to me.
It gets better...then her lawyer sent a question in a disclosure request about this fictitious agreement. It was just too tempting for me knowing full well this document does not exist so I turned around in a form 20 and ask:
1) Please produce said document.
2) Please produce any billing notes, invoices, receipts for legal work done on it.
You will never guess the answer to 1 and 2.
1) My client gave you the LAST copy she had and you never returned it. So now this document does not exist. (???)
2) The lawyer did not charge her because you never signed it.
Wow. This is the first lawyer in the history of lawyers to produce work on the off chance and on sheer faith that the client's ex might sign it.
My question now is...if I press this issue I can ask for the name, address of the lawyer. Ask for a summons to the questioning that the lawyer seems to desperately wanting to do and/or ask to get a sworn statement to the effect that he did or did not produce this document.
All of this would be at a minimum very embarrassing for my ex and at best...if her lawyer is paying attention might want to make sure to shut this whole thing down.
My gut tells me that making up lies about what he/she said is one thing but fabricating the existence of a document is a small step closer to the dark side.
Is this bad for her?
