The truth escapes many litigants and witnesses in family court. They lie to the court, the other litigant, evaluators, law guardians, GALs, and sometimes, their own attorneys. They get their children to lie. They get their friends to lie. They lie on Case Information Statements (i.e., either embellishing monthly expenses in the hopes of receiving a more substantial alimony award or minimizing the marital lifestyle and, thus, their support obligation); lie (by omission) about the universe of their assets to minimize the marital estate; they lie about employment; they lie about income (hiding cash); they lie in response to interrogatories and other discovery; they lie on mortgage applications; they lie on credit card applications; they lie about domestic violence; and they lie about involvement in their children's lives. In summary, if you name the subject, we have seen a family court litigant lie about it.
