Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina
What happens if my daughter-in-law lied on a divorce summons stating that she intended to remain permanently separated and we have lots of evidence to show otherwise? My son is in prison (she married him in jail) but she continuously visited him, hugged and kissed him up until two months ago. She also sent letters and emails stating she couldn't wait until he got home so they could be a family. They had a baby 15 months ago.
The daughter has also visited since she was 1 week old. Suddenly she started seeing someone and decided to ask for a divorce by writing him a letter. She then hired an attorney but falsified the fact that they were permanently separated. He gets out in 7 months. Can she get into trouble for that?

Lied implies she provided false information to the Court on purpose knowing it was false as opposed to merely being mistaken. If she is smart she will simply claim she was mistaken and you or anyone else will be hard pressed to prove otherwise. However, if it can be proven she could be facing a felony perjury charged.
