There is no need to file any motion of your own. Simply file a response to her motion and give your view. At the hearing on the motion(s) you can point out any false statements or allegations. It will be up to the court to decide who is being truthful or accurate.

You should probably get a Florida lawyer to handle this for you if you are in South Carolina.

You can file a Rule to Show Cause (contempt action) to ask the Court to punish her for violating an Order and/or you can file a Motion for Sanctions if you can prove that she knowingly lied or provided false information.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
