Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

Is perjury still taken seriously?

In a recent custody case involving a family member, the mother committed perjury on the stand. There are several people who could testify that she did this. However, the father was told that not only is perjury hard to prove, but its not taken seriously anymore as people perjure themselves in court frequently. Is this true?! Thank you.
