How do you expose a liar in court?

Answer 1

You don't. You hire competent legal counsel barred in the State you live in. He or she will listen to your situation and adopt an appropriate pre-trial and trial strategy.

Note that even those mental health workers that consider mythomania a real condition admit that prevalence is quite low (one researcher shows only 1 case in 1000 in incarcerated juvenile offenders- a very high risk group- this would mean the general population would have far fewer), that the diagnosis is extremely controversial at best (meaning that few in the mental health field consider it a "condition" worthy of study or research) and the nature of mythomania is to lie at all times and with no discernible motive, not simply when it profits the sufferer to do so.

Unless your spouse has a diagnosis of mythomania from a competent clinician, any judge is likely to consider your insistence that he or she is so as an act of histrionics on your part.

It's very difficult. Only correspond with the liar through e-mail so that you have everything in writing and proof if you need to show it. Do not have phone conversations with the liar. I made that mistake. Only correspond in writing or through attorneys, period.

Am going through this at the moment. Best way to expose is to obtain every single thread of evidence to disprove statements being made. Thia can be by way of credit card and bank statements, reciepts of purchases, calendar entries, even looking at when documents were created on a PC will give you an indication of events at that time. Also don't forget photographs, home videos, videohire listings, utilitiy and phone bills, right down to Dr's & prescriptions etc.

Also, I have a ton of friends all writing letters detailing their own experiences with the woman and their perceptions. This gives courts a "helicopter view" of the whole situation.

Does it work? We'll my 6 yr old son and I sincerely hope it does in the end.

Get a voice recorder, they cant deny the voice they own & people are most likely to really "go off" in person or on the phone. But check your states laws on recording. I have one I use every time I speak with my ex, it's small enough to fit in my purse or pocket, cheap to but worth millions.

(06/13/09) The use of a recorder depends on state law, but also you need to transcribe the tape. A recording can be prevented from entrance as evidence, until they commit perjury, but you can enter the transcription. You read it to them while they are on the stand and ask them to confirm it. If they deny it, than you hold up the tape. You may not even need to enter it into evidence as they their reaction may be enough.

If it is legal to tape in your state, always use new tapes, never tapes used previously. Be sure the state date, time, and conditions under which the recording was made, at the end.

The best option when filing a petition for the dissolution of marriage is to adhere to the factors as outlined in the state laws governing divorce (adultry, abuse, etc.) Other matters should only be broached if the divorce is contested on custodial, property division issues and so forth

Answer 3

How can you expose someone who presents themselves as an angel, yet has a very dark, murky interior that very few would ever see. Who presents a faultless image of themselves, in their obsessive desire to win over people and gather friends like trophies. This person has been bad-mouthing a friend of mine to people in a regional community in Victoria Australia for the last nine years. It is about ostracizing my friend from the community. Every time he starts to become friendly with people in the

community a new wave of bad mouthing begins. He has been convicted by a community that hasn't even given him the right of reply. He has been convicted without been given the base rights that even harden criminals get through our legal system. This is not all my friend has to put up with, theirs the constant lying, manipulating and seeming lack of empathy.

Please, can anybody offer some respite from this horrible ordeal.

You need to check out stalking sites and look under gang mobbing and bullying read all that you can and let people be aware that this person is doing just this thing. Alot of times people do not even realize that is what this person wants this other person to be miserable and forced to move. I had this happen to me. awareness open eyes that may be unintentally closed.

Answer 4

Document everything. Visitation dates and times, things you witness, even things your children pass along to you. Judges and experts hate being lied to. If you document well and catch them in a lie, things become an uphill battle for them.

Also, comport yourself professionally in court. Use good language, answer questions succinctly, don't ramble or try to squeeze in every complaint you ever had. Stick to the facts. Dress neatly and conservatively, not in the clothes you hang out in. You should be represented by an attorney who will prep you before your testimony and who has all the facts necessary to catch the liar in action and make them look foolish.

Answer 5

It's not easy to do. The best way to expose the person as a liar, though, is to take apart each piece of the lie. Then, research each piece thoroughly. If you can expose even a small part of it as a lie, the lie will almost always become unraveled and exposed.
