Lying in family court

[angryangryyoungwoman]

My ex has written various malicious, completely untrue things on the court application form for child contact. These will all be proven to be untrue once we are at court but in the meantime, the stress of these accusations will be having their effects on me and my family. I just wanted to know, and hopefully be reassured by other peoples experiences if you don't mind, on how the court will treat someone who has made deliberately false accusations. Will it have an impact on child contact? My ex has shown himself to be a liar on many occasions in the past which will be evidenced as well but I just can't believe that someone willing to make up such awful things would get away with it once in court. As I said, he will be proven to be a liar but is there any punishment at all given by the court? Anyone have any experience?
For background, he is verbally and mentally abusive, he has damaged property and contact has been stopped because of this, harassment and emotional abuse of dd.
The allegations he is making are of non existent physical abuse of him by myself and family, my substance abuse, and he is accusing a member of my family of having child pornography.
I am speaking to women's aid and they said malicious accusations are common in family court from men who have been abusive.
It will obviously reflect badly on him in court but I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced similar and what the outcome was.
Cafcass are going to do a section 7 report, which I welcome, as my dd is safe, well and happy and the cafcass officer does seem balanced and kind. I'm just really upset today that this nasty man is trying to do anything he can to cause trouble. Will he get away with it?

difference is there is a police report of the time my ex assaulted my daughter. are you in australia? child protection were the ones who spoke to my kids because of the police report. they have told me that if the boys are not returned to my care on monday they will see what they can do to intervene

You need to keep child focussed. Family courts make decisions to benefit children rather than to punish parents. Judges are often confronted with two different "truths" of the same story. Allegations don't carry much weight unless they are backed up with impartial evidence from professionals (teachers, social services, medical workers, police etc) working with the family.

If you can afford it or qualify for legal aid a family solicitor has the training & experience to advise what evidence is relevant & present your case in the most effective way. Some experienced solicitors represent their clients in court whilst others prefer to instruct a barrister, particularly if there are specific points in law.

My son is going through child access and again lies by the other party seem to be the norm. It puts unfair stress on that person and for someone to lie and just get away with it is wrong. We are told to tell the truth deliberate lies should be punished not glossed over as ok . Lies would soon stop and cases could be concluded a lot earlier if the punishment was prison or a very high fine.
