Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Perjury in Texas
What is the consequence for a
woman
that lies about being pregnant during
in
her divorce? I have been separated
for a year and a half, we waited 6 months for our day in court and I am
currently 5 weeks pregnant. My
husband moved in with another
woman, I don't feel like I have done
anything wrong, but don't want the
divorce held up any longer. Will I go
to to jail if I lie in court?

Re: Perjury in Texas
Based on what you have written, you need to discuss this question with your current divorce attorney/law firm. Assuming that your husband is the father of the unborn child, you should notify the court of the pregnancy. Generally, this will protect the rights and interests of the child in the future. If my law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.
