Opposing attorney lied under oath

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

Were the bills submitted as evidence at a previous hearing?

How did you respond in court when opposing counsel and the witness both stated something you knew not to be true?

Depending on each party's resources, it's possible for the judge to order one party to pay the other's attorney fees. Have you researched that? Did your former attorney ever mention it?

Around these parts, attorneys aren't sworn in.

If you want something to be evidence, you need to submit it properly as such, per the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and additional local rules, if any:

Similarly, if you want to question a witness (or object to a witness's testimony, or object to the attorney giving testimony), you need to do so properly, per trial rules.

Finally, if you wish to move for reimbursement of attorney fees, you must do so in the proper format and manner and at the proper time. If you make one mistake, your motion will likely be denied (which you clearly already know).

Dropping the lawyer while your husband still retained his was probably a very bad mistake. It may now be too late to accomplish some of these things. Your strategy moving forward should be to either learn a lot about the law very quickly, or hire another attorney.

he did not "swear her in"

Texas attorneys take their oath the day their license is issued.
