If you lied under oath, then yes. You could be charged with perjury.
Yes, but that doesn't mean that the local district attorney has to drop the case. Once it's filed, it's the district attorney that decides.
The latest update on the Marshae Jones case is that the charges against her have been dropped by the district attorney's office in Alabama.
In a criminal case, charges can be pressed by the government, typically through a prosecutor or district attorney. Additionally, a victim of the crime or a witness may also have the ability to press charges in some cases.
YOU cannot dismiss your own case. A dismissal can only be granted by a judge. You must pay your attorney for any work that he does on your case.
Yes.
Not unless the attorney in the case is the prosecuting attorney (The State). Even then, a complainant may take the case to either another venue with jurisdiction, or to an higher prosecutor. However, charges are never dropped if a defense attorney refuses to take the case.
This just means that the petitioner, I am assuming is the Plaintiff, she has asked to dismiss the divorce case. Your attorney would be able to explain to you whether she wants to dismiss the entire case and try to make the marriage work, or she just wants to dismiss one of her terms. Consult with an attorney.

Generally only the agency where the crime took place will accept a crime report. In any case, the victim does not file charges. Charges are filed by the prosecuting attorney.

Usually the way criminal charges work is that the arresting or investigating agency will turn in all relevant documents to the District Attorney and then the DA will decide if there is enough evidence to support a trial or if the case should be dismissed. From there the DA will present the case in front of the Grand Jury (in some states), this is not a trial and the defendant usually is not present. In this process there is no 'one person' responsible for charging an alleged criminal.
