If an attorney knowingly states false information, can they be barred?

My ex's attorney is making outrageous claims and we have evidence to prove otherwise, I can't believe that it's put in motion twice now with these claims. Can I get her barred for false accusations, and can I get the magistrate bond removed (sorry not sure of the lingo) for letting this go through?If an attorney knowingly states false information, can they be barred?
It's called disbarred. You are thinking of barred, as in prevented from entering an establishment. When a lawyer prohibited from further practice of law they are disbarred.





As for legal questions, ask your own lawyer. Everybody on Yahoo is either not a lawyer, and as such cannot correctly answer legal questions, or they are lawyers, in which case they know they cannot dispense legal advice under these circumstances. Besides they payed in money and time for that law degree, they are not likely to give away what they worked so hard to attain.If an attorney knowingly states false information, can they be barred?
The attorney can say what ever he wants as long as you cannot disprove it plain and simple their job is to twist words and previous actions to favor their clients goals. It would be very difficult to have them disbarred or removed from the hearings b/c they can always say they found evidence towards it. It is in your best favor to 1. hire a good lawyer 2. ask for proof of the accusations 3. if there is no proof have them stricken from the record as well as come prepared to prove the opposite.
Do you mean DIS-barred? I don't know, but he should at least have his license suspended for a couple of years IF you can prove that his statements are flagrantly false. That may depend upon which state you're in (if you're in the US).
