I Still Think It's Too Late (pt 2)

[TimR]

10 days is quick. Your L may figure if you start she wont have time to get an accountant involved and then has nothing to rebut your accountant. IDK. IDK anything about CA law except that it is very different than PA law. Your copies of emails may get her caught in her lies. I had a case where a person started spinning lies, oh they were so good too, tears and everything. It was a rape case. When it was my turn to question her, I went through everything step by step that she testified to. Every third question I would ask "you understood my question right?" "you answered those three questions truthfully right." and went through her whole story that way. I then went to sit down and the other side thought I was finished and started to stand up. I then said just a few brief questions... sorry. Then went through all their contrary FB posts. The jury was out for 15 minutes before they acquitted him. True story. In my experience getting caught in one lie will severely turn a judge against you. I had another where my client lied to the judge about not drinking. When the kids were interviewed they told us about all the beer in dad's refrigerator. The judge said he was going to send the attorneys to his house to check, the guy then came clean and because of that lie (if he told the truth IMO the judge would have yelled at him) he lost almost all his custody.

Like I said I do not know anything about CA law but around here if you showed one of her claims a lie it would cast doubt on everything else.
