My exs lawyer got him to lie on the stand and the judge caught him. How do I press charges? -

I want to charge him with perjury and maybe charge his lawyer with subourning perjury. How would I go about this?

It is the judge or district attorney s decision whether or not to charge someone with perjury. They will look into it for you and depending on the case, they may or may not file charges. I m surprised that the judge didn t immediately do something at the time it happened. But be forewarned, no matter how important you might think this is, the district attorney may not think it s worth his time to process -- that happens quite a bit actually.

you can t charge him. a government prosecutor would do that. the best you can do is to contact the prosecutor s office and request that they investigate, which they probably won t if the court didn t even hold your husband in contempt. you could also contact the state bar association s ethics committee to complain about the attorney s conduct. they might pursue separate professional discipline.

You can t charge him with perjury. The crime of perjury is committed against the state, not the individual. Thus, the state has to press charges.

You don t. There is no private criminal prosecution in the u.s. Only the DA can elect to pursue a criminal charge. You can send the info to the DA who can decide, but you cannot control the decision.

You don t press perjury charges, the DA does (as far as I understand). Since the judge caught him, he will likely be dealt with. I suppose you could talk to the DA, and express your wishes.

(me being humorous) point and yell quot; lair !quot;

Contact the District Attorney of the county where the crimes took place.
