War on Divorce

why is it ok for someone to make false statements agianst innocent people just because its a divorce hearing?

why cant their be some sorta punishment when the man lies about the mother of the women who want to divorce him and he gets away with it? how come noone does anything about it, it is still lying in a court of law?

1. ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR UNLESS YOU HAVE EVIDENCE TO DISPROVE IT ,IT IS YOUR WORD AGAINST HIS
2. It is not okay. It is perjury. If it cannot be proven on paper, it should be stricken from the record.
3. its not ok but its hard to prove it. when it comes down to one persons word against another with no proof, well its just who is most believable.
4. Lying is wrong no matter where it occurs.........
5. Even Shakespear said "kill the lawyers" things have not changed No it is not OK to lie in court He gets away with it because his team lies better then your team What do you think can be done about it? it is not a new problem, and a solution would be nice

7. Why yes it is.
8. Perjury can be filed against the person telling lies when made in court under the Penal Laws.
9. One of the things law schools don't teach in courses on the court system is that in almost every trial, at least one of the parties will step up to the witness stand, swear to tell the truth "so help me God" and then sit down and violate that oath. Lying under oath is an accepted element of most trials. If that weren't true, there would be little need for a jury. Juries are just supposed to decide what the facts of the case were. Was the traffic light green or red when the accident occurred? Did the store clerk say that your new computer would handle the just released whiz-bang software, or did she just say she thought it might? In most cases the jury simply decides who it believes. Once the jury decides who is telling the truth, it is the judge who applies the law to the facts and decides what the judgment will say. To catch them in a lie when they are on the stand is sublime. But, you must have ABSOLUTE, UNCONTROVERTIBLE proof of the lie, proof that is admissible in court by rules of evidence or by unassailable testimony. When confronted with the impeaching evidence, a Narcissist will react with fury, more lying (which will be visible to everyone except the Narcissist) and will in general actively discredit themselves. Lawyers use depositions as a tool to solidify statements and evidence. A deposition is a question and answer session in which the lawyers of both parties are present and involved in the examination and cross-examination of witnesses. Each party may examine the other party or any person who may possibly be a witness. The testimony taken under oath is recorded by a court reporter and is admissable at trial. The atmosphere at a deposition is often informal, but don't be fooled by this informality. What a person says and how they say it may win or lose a case. The purpose of a deposition is to discover facts and obtain evidence. and to "freeze" a person's testimony in writing so that any change or departure at trial can be used to hang them. Lawyers refer to the procedure as discovery. It's an opportunity to obtain admissions from the opposing party to: learn the identity of other possible witnesses; SOLIDIFY the testimony of a witness; determine the opinion and theories of the expert witness of the opponent; focus on the facts and issues, and assist lawyers in evaluating their case for settlement or trial.
