We are in a civil suit, in a Circuit Court In Kentucky, trying to get Grandparents Visitation. Today in open court, the respondents in this case, as we are the Petitioners, their Attorney Lied to the Judge, and told him that a request had been made for us to do bring in the prescription that was prescribed by our Doctor, so as it could be tested for Drug levels that was show in the test, compared to what the prescribed dosage was ordered. It was said by the attorney, that the independant Drug Testing Facility requested us to do so, which was not and is not true! We have proof from that Facility to that fact! Now what can be done to that Attorney for doing this, and being caught in it, that is the lie the attorney told?

In the long term - Complaints for unethical conduct by an attorney are handled by the Kentucky Bar Association. If you file a written complaint the office of Bar Counsel will investigate and determine if the complaint is chargeable. If the Bar Counsel decides that the attorney has acted outside the Code of Ethics, they will report to the Board of Governors who will recommend a penalty, which will then go to the Kentucky Supreme Court for sentencing.
An attorney who tells the Judge that a certain fact is true, when he knows that it is not true, violates the Code of Ethics. The problem will be proving that he knew his statement was false.
In the short term - bring the Judge the proof which you say you have that shows that what the attorney said was incorrect and the Judge will ignore what was said and believe your documentation. Tell your attorney, and he will handle it. If you do not have an attorney, why not - aren't your grandchildren worth t?

You will need the proof and get the court transcript. If he intentionally lied he could be charged with perjury or contempt of court. I would think if he is an attorney he left himself and exit based on some mistaken fact that he believed to be true. You need to hire an attorney to interpret the law and bring out the facts.
