Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

oath 2

My ex's attorney tried and note the word ''tried'' to use PAS on me which was a lie. Later I discussed it with my ex who said he did not hear him say that and I said yes he did. Then my ex asked what is that and I explained it to him and then my ex said you don't do that and I said no I do not and asked why would he say that, that was a lie. We were having troubles with one of the 5 children seeing him. The other 4 went no problem. Why would an attorney use such a lie? It was proven NOT to be PAS but why would he say that? The child is now much older and more matture and goes now with no problem he was also the youngest of the 5 children. Much time has passed since then but it bothers me still to this day and gave me a different outlook on attorneys. The mere notion of lieing and being so wrong. Both my ex and I agree on that and were clueless at that time what PAS was. Why did that attorney lie?

Re: oath 2

PAS = Parental Alienation Syndrome = a conclusion based on facts, whether or not the attorney was qualified to reach same. This is argument, not lying, and appears to me to be within the ethical bounds in a potentially difficult visitation situation.
