Truancy and False Accusations

I have 2 questions: sorry about the length in them

I live in MN and am dating a guy who is going through a nasty divorce. His "self-righteous" wife has custody of the children during the week and allows them to stay home from school whenever they have a hang-nail, however, they are always well enough to participate in extra-curricular activities with their friends. The 15 year old has missed one month of school and will miss the rest of the school year due to "depression" issues, however, has not sought out any type of professional treatment plan for this disorder. The Dad was not notified by anyone that the daughter has missed this much school. The son has missed 31 days this year due to miscellaneous pains and colds.

Is there any legal action the Dad can take against the Mom regarding this truancy issue?

The same daughter who is too depressed to attend school has been well enough to spend time with friends and is too busy to visit her Dad on his weekends. She has recently brought up an issue that involved my causing her bodily harm 2 years ago. There was no evidence of any kind to prove this happened and no statements were made to the police-- and all family members were present during our meeting 2 years ago. Now 2 years later the daughter and the Mom are saying I hit the daughter. This child has also hit her Dad in the face for no reason and turned around and said that her Dad hit her twice and had to go to the doctor because of the neck and back injuries sufffered from the "supposed attack". The Mom was present during this incident and is siding with the daughter on this issue as well. The Mom brings these "false issues" to court with her which makes Dad look horrible, of course.

There is no proof that the daughter and the Mom are lying, but are there consequences to flat out lying in court and falsely accusing someone of physical attacking them who is completely innocent? We don't want to end up in jail for something we never did.
