perjury

[jahva]

I'm in the middle of a divorce and my soon to be ex's attorney has lied in court at least three times. My ex has lied once. These have been detrimental to my case. How can I bring this to the table?

Do you have a lawyer - talk to your lawyer about this & see what he/she says.

Assuming you're going pro se, did you object at the time?

You can't just call what is said in court a lie. You have to PROVE its a lie.
It must also be considered a material misrepresentation.
If a person says it was Tuesday, but it was Wednesday, that's a simple mistake, not necessarily a material misrepresentation. You must object to the alleged fabrication when it occurs.
You can't wait until six months later, or after the trial or hearing is over to do so, either.
Brush up on trial and civil procedure, there's method to the madness.

Thank you all for your response. Yes I can prove it with phone records and tax documents

You might call it proof, the court might wish to take no notice of it.
In most cases, the court simply lets the IRS address it.
Even if you were allowed to prove it, and did, that won't really help you.
It'll mean they could catch criminal charges.
That won't keep or put money in your pocket.
As far as her lawyer committing perjury, that'll never happen.
The lawyer has a dozen ways to get this monkey off his back.
