Different states have different laws on this,,,,,,but one could face a perjury charge or a contempt of court or a filling a false reports,,,,,,,but again it depends on the state and what was lied about,,,,if a address or a birthdate was lied about it would probably be viewed as more of a mistake,,,,,
But if more serious things were lied about such as alleged violence and/or threats it might not be looked upon so lightly,,,,,especially if the courts/police have time and resources invested and it turned out to be all lies,,,,,,,which is done in some instances with protection orders as one party might be interested in seeking revenge for a relationship gone bad,,,,,,,,,
