Petition Perjury in Family Court should be punished

More details

False allegations of eg drug abuse and sexual abuse during divorce proceedings waste Court time,cause damage to already vulnerable children and are costly emotionally and financially to defend.
The perpetrator is rarely penalised by the Court and cannot be named.They may continue to work in positions with access to children.
I propose that in such cases the officers of the Court:
Fine the perpetrator and award costs to the accused.
At the conclusion of the proceedings the guilty party is recorded as having commited perjury and the judgement is made public.
