I had a trial hearing today against my ex and she sat up on the stand lying through her teeth about numerous things. The case was closed today regarding several domestic issues and the order of protection I have against her. She has a scumbag attorney and I had to represent myself due to financial reasons due to her screwing me over. Can and how do I prove that she lied under oath as well as sworn statement?

If you could prove she was a liar you should have done so at the hearing when it would have mattered. Even if you could now prove it its likely too late, the hearing is finished and your case is closed. You can appeal but you cannot enter new evidence on appeal. You could take your evidence to a prosecutor and ask that they press charges but they have better things to do and wont bother. If you're asking how to create evidence that she lied, I dont have the slightest idea without knowing the circumstances and even if I did I doubt its possible, Sorry.

if the prosecutor can prove to the judge that she committed perjury she'll go to jail. It's hard in cases like this because it's usually a she said he said kind of thing. If you can get recorded statements, letters, or other tangible proof to bring the police or the court that would be the best way to go about it. If you're allowed to speak with tape a phone conversation and get her to admit she lied.

If that person is found out by the prosecuting attorney that one that lied under oath can be charged & placed in prison for perjury. up to 5-7 yrs depending on location of the person.

You prove it using whatever means you can. Then you take what evidence you do have to the judge presiding over your case, then take copies to the District Attorney's office. Perjury is a felony in practically all States.

When you are representing yourself, whatever you do, don't get mad in court. Stay calm. If you have voice mails, emails, or anything else to prove her lies, then gather them together. Next, contact or befriend a Private investigator to gather more evidence. Then present all of the evidence to the court in an independent pleading. (I'm not sure what state you're in, so I'm not sure what it would be called.)

Sorry dude. Stop being a prick and acting like you know it all. Everybody lies under oath - you did too. Stick to the facts and present them to the judge. He or she has heard thousands of liars. Get over what was done, fess up to what you are good for and give the judge a reason to rule in your favor.

Its called Perjury and its a Felony and punishable by prison time...and if it is your word against hers...its hard to prove. Find evidence that backs your case, and you will have more success.

You have to have other witnesses or documents, pictures, etc. to refute her story. That would prove that she perjured herself. She could go to jail for perjury under oath.
Best Wishes,
