Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Washington

False allegations/Parental interference

My ex-husband and his wife made an allegation of sexual molestation against my current husband on my 8 year old daughter's behalf. The step-mother claimed the child told her of this abuse. My ex immediately filed a restraining order and parenting plan modification to the courts. I did not get to even talk to my daughter about the claim for over a year. My daughter is to live with the ex (who was just restationed in Florida) for 2 years awaiting review. My husband was not in my childs' life during the time-frame originally set. In the meantime, charges were filed and dismissed. During my Christmas visitation with my daughter she told me she missed her stepfather and to tell him she was sorry. The step-mother ''tricked'' her. She said the step-mom just kept asking her questions and she was so tired she finally told her step-mother ''yes'' so she would leave her alone. My child is very worried that her dad will find out she's told the truth, so I am going to leave that alone until the summer visit. However, going through all of my documents I have found 6 counts of perjury, along with the notes that prove the guardian ad litem withheld exculpatory evidence from her interview with my child as well. Who do I take on first?
