Hi AllForHer,
OK, thanks.
I can see some valid points there. Me thinks it doesn't need real reform, just enforcement of current laws.
The court can and should find the guilty partner in contempt. Let it become a 'black mark' on that person's criminal history. Might slow some people down who value a clean criminal history. Secondly, the court can impose community service orders. After hours or weekend work for 3-12 months (on non-custody weekends ) might also discourage lying.
If courts do not clamp down on perjury it just encourages more and more people to behave the same way.
