Legal Question in Family Law in California

After a trial and an appeal, can I still take out a contempt of court filing against my sons dad for the difference in his responses between the testimony he provided in person compared to how he answered me in his written interrogatories and admissions?

He said on paper that he has not nor had he ever had any contact or knowledge of being acquainted with the judges son, that he did not know him.

Then at the trial he admitted he went to school with him. Is that grounds for contempt? I did have a court reporter present at the trial and recorded him saying the opposite of what he answered in his interrogatories and admissions.

Lying on the stand is not contempt, it is called perjury.
