Would I be close if I guessed that you two have a child custody dispute? If so, this is now a common ploy to "prove" to the judge that you are an unfit parent. You prove it's a lie by calling lots of witnesses who know that you are not violent, or that she is or that she has a history of being dishonest to manipulate others. Most of all, you need a lawyer to protect you. Your whole future career can be scuttled by what is happening, so take it VERY seriously.
