Perjury


What is the name of your state?
PA
Can an atty. allow a client to lie?
If a situation is known to an atty. and the client flat out lies about it, what is the atty.'s responsibility?
Situation:
My ex is manic-dep/bi-polar, I have a Pro Se motion to mod. custody, my ex has been documented and treated a few times with the illnesses and his atty. is well aware of this. If I cannot get the proper medical records, can ex deny his illness and does this have an effect on his atty. if he is aware the client is perjuring himself.

If you have hubby on the stand and ask him if he is manic-dep/bi-polar and he says no, what is it you want his lawyer to do?

In any event, if hubby's medical condition would make him a bad parent, then why have you not discovered those records?

I have evidence through my childs hospital records, police reports, and photos.
I am not necessarily trying to prove he is a bad parent in general, but that his disorders and lack of concern to seek proper treatment are causing his bad parenting and poor judgement.
I am not trying to completely take our child from him, but am attempting to allow the courts to set boundaries he must follow in order to continue safe visitation: medication, counseling, car seat use, ordered to obtain a locking gun cabinet, drug testing.

And what will you do when he breaks any rules he is supposed to be following?

Anyway, it is impossible for you or a court to control his behavior.

Take your records to court and hope for the best or file a motion for discovery right now so you can get those records into the court file.
