Re: divorce

While it's possible that could happen (although very rare), the fact that you are asking that question and not an important one tells me that you likely are representing yourself and badly need a lawyer. Used properly, a lie concealing income often will be very effective versus an alimony claim, and it can be used to impeacvh her credibility when she testifies. Get a lawyer right away.

Technically, yes; however, most prosecutors won't spend time on such a case.
