Re: Prosecuting perjury in Family Court
It's presumed that you brought forth all information that you wanted the court to consider at the time of the hearing, even if it's to prove that the other side lied. However, you can filed a motion for reconsideration if you didn't have the information available to you at the time of the hearing and the court had made a decision based on the lying that you couldn't disprove at the time of the hearing.
