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.
