Q: I am wondering howto formally present evidence that witnesses and the other party haveliedunder oath
I’m involved in a child custody case, which just went to final orders hearing 2 days ago tho we have a month until orders are issued ...where I have proof that the plaintiff (father) as well as my stepfather (bc my mom and stepfather are trying to gain custody of my child for my stepdad’spleasure of having my beautiful daughter, bc her and I live in their guesthouse and he wants her in his house—despite their being no evidence that I’ve neglected her although i do want to homeschool her for now -i am setup for this-instead of into preschool as she turns 4 at the end of the month)..and so whileI wait for poison control and verizon wireless phone call audio records to come to me; do you have any tips of howI may intervene before the judges final orders are laid down in order to have entered this serious evidence? Also i am pro se...and, THANK YOU
A: The hard reality is that you have one bite at the apple. The Court will not rehear the case to hear evidence that could have previously been presented. Otherwise there would be no finality, and cases could never end.
