A Petitioner-wife filed proof as xerox copy of her "Employment letter and salary slips" which clearly suggest that she was in employment, even before the time, when she filed divorce suit.
But divorce Petition+ supporting sworn affidavit, and also a subsequent affidavit for injuction app, she mentioned....
OCC: UNEMPLOYED (in verification and declaration in the end and the beginning of affidavits)
Divorce Petitioner: In one para, she says 'it is difficult for her to get a job due to compitition'
She did correct her stand as OCC: EMPLOYED in the subsequent apps and sworn affidavits for interim maint.
Question here is .....Is it a Perjury to lie on OATH in above manner? Is it a trivial matter in the eyes of the law?
It is crystal clear that she was i employment on the day of filing divorce petiton but still she lied on OATH.

If any Court decides any matter on the basis of stand taken by a particular party on oath and in the same case, if the same party takes U turn then definitely it invites prejury action against himself. There is no distinction before law in the matters of family or otherwise. You may pray court to take action against such lady.
