Can I sue my ex-spouse for perjury related to false statements made under oath about abuse during our child custody trial?

  • By: David Bliven

Q: The statements made by my ex-spouse were completely false, intentional, and can be proven. They have caused significant damage to my case. As a result, my son has been temporarily removed from my care, and we are currently in a heated trial that is financially draining me. If this is considered perjury, is there a statute of limitations? I was told that this is not defamation or slander, but perjury.

A: First, you should concentrate on winning the custody trial by using the evidence you’ve obtained. There are generally civil tort claims you can pursue, including abuse of process. You are best advised to consult a civil litigation lawyer on such a claim. If you are ever looking for a 2d opinion on your custody case, feel free to contact my White Plains office for a consultation. My number is 914-468-0968.
