Lying Gets My Ex. out of paying attorney fees...Is there anything that can be done?
 I am going to court in about 2 weeks for 4 items related to my divorce. One of those items is one that I was in court on April 28th for, a Contempt Of Court Hearing because my ex. had not paid his share of medical bills. At that time the general magistrate did not make my ex. pay my share of attorney fees because she felt that he did not have the ability to pay at the time as he gave her a "pity" story, in my opinion, which she bought...He said that he had no money, that he was living with his sister and mom because he had no money, and that all he did was work and had therefore had no time to see his children. (She did tell him that if he was in her court again, she would hold him in contempt, but at the time she did not make him pay, based on his "story" of not being able to pay. ) Well, 2 weeks after this court date and his "pity" story , I found out that he got married to someone he had been dating and living with and that he had a baby with this woman about 4 months earlier and that he was not living with his sister and mother as he stated in court earlier as part of his "story." His marriage license proves that he was not living with his mother also. Basically, he lied in court to the general magistrate and it was his "story" that made her decide not to have him pay my attorney fees. Is it too late to go back and say he perjured himself and that his "story" is what caused the decision for his not having to pay the attorney fees, or would that ruling be final? Would I have any chance of getting those attorney fees from the April 28th court date if his "lies and perjury" are proved in court? One of the issues we are going back to court for is the same one of his non-payment of his share of the medical bills, and he still has not paid all of those from our April 28th date.
