At divorce can I charge her perjury for false financial affidavit under the oath? Or what else I can do?

Asked 6 months ago - Jacksonville, FL

Flag

My wifes financial affidavit is a big lie. All the numbers are fake. Also she put cents on the end like $203.39 for a $200 item. And she did that on everything. Maybe a lawyer told her to do that so it looks legit. But adding up she is shows 40000 instead of 110000. She allways lies and put me in trouble. There is a car what she sold and does not show anywhere. 10 plus tousand. She shows 50 cash? I want to stop that and go against her with perjury charge. She lied on an injunction as well I have the transcript and corresponding evidence. I need to stop her lying! The sad: looks like she gets away with it. I beleive its criminal! Also can I turn her affidavit to the IRS? I am sure they want to know where is the tax money?
