Perjury

[skysthelimit]

What is the name of your state?Massachusetts

My question is, when is a lawyer accountable for perjury.

On a finalcial sheet my x indicated that she had a mortgage in the amount of $115K, well as luck would have it I was searching the regisrty of deeds and found that the mortgage had been paid in full over a year ago, when I pointed this out to my lawyer she called to office to have her assistant confirm, yes it was paid off and when my lawyer confronted her lawyer she said well there was a second mortgage or a refi..well there is not. my lawyer consistantly asks me to reveiw my signed financial statement for accuracy as I should assume that she does to her client, and so I feel that she planned to include this as a financial obligation on my x wifes part and they both conspired to fruad, and further so when questioned and she made up additional excuses that again are false. the hearing was continued before going to the judge because of some discrepincys in the unpaid medical uninsured /co pays due. I feel that she continued the trail because of what I found ?
Is this perjury, is there any recourse, is there any accountability she has for her actions as a lawyer?

Perjury can only occur if they actually lied in court, under oath about it. If it was just on financial statements, they may be trying to get more money out of you, and attempting fraud, but it is not the same as perjury. Ask your lawyer what recourse you can pursue in this matter.
