How to Prove That a Parent Lied About Her Substance Abuse History
My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Pennsylvania
3.5 years ago My ex was charged with child neglect by CYS. She was required to meet with a counselor and follow his recommendations at the time, she met with him and he determined she was a drunk and recommended 3 hours/ day out patient treatment. she hid this from the court, she denied having met with him, denied the existence of a report, then went to another substance abuse counselor to gain a better report. She shared this report. since the initial report she denied having we have met with a multitude of co parenting counselor, intervention counselors, guardians, and recently we were able to obtain the report legally as she was compelled to release the document by signing a HIPPA release. I feel I have been violated, she lied to the court, her attorney and her obstructed justice and all the meeting we had did not have the fact that she was suppose to be in counseling. I have spent $30,000 in lawyer fees, my reputation was damaged, because with willful intent she lied to the court and withheld information.
All this time a 7 now 11 year old little girl was trapped in the middle....this is one major lie, there are 100 others
Can someone cite case law when a party, lies to a judge, and gets caught, withholding information that was t be releaseed...really need your help to search for something that will stop the lies in court.

I’m not attempting to tell a judge what to do. But for the last 3 1/2 years she has denied the existence of this report and has lied to the judge at least five times about the report. The report stemmed from a child neglect charge. I’m trying to find case law About individuals lying to a judge in child custody

Why do you think that the judge will need to tell him about any existing case law? Why do you think that he won't already know it?

Wellllll there are laws about perjury - and contempt. Also the percentage of lies in courts cases is about 101.3%. You have stated you finally received the report so you have the proof of her substance abuses and subsequent attempt at treatment. So it sounds to me like you wish to continue to have her punished, whether or not this is just, tell me how that helps your 11 year old? You are correct, the child has suffered and may continue to do so. It is not clear if the child is still being harmed or who has custody or what. You have the responsibility to do the best you can for the child, which has nothing to do with how much you want mom to be punished.
