I was not a fly in this court but seems like there is no reason to assume they lied about anything.
They where factually unemployed at the time of hearing.
They have the right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves about any potential rehiring.
It could also be setup by the boss without employee awareness, a excuse to rehire them after their business suffers (i fired you for your own good but i couldn’t tell you to not influence the legal system)
In general if you’re going out of your way to make it technically legal you should run it by your lawyer and they’re probably going to tell you it’s not a good idea. In general if you feel like you’ve found a legal loophole in everyday life your lawyer will advise against it
That is the most generous reading possible of the facts considering the boss and employee talked about the divorce. Are you his defense lawyer or something? Or do you just defend shitbags on the Internet for free?
No i have mentioned i find this sort of behaviour immoral, especially considering this is about child support. the discussion is whether any statement was a lie and therefore illegal.
It is my take that the system of law is broken in a way that makes such immoral loopholes possible. I believe the fact that such things are possible is a worse problem then the individual cases where people exploit such.
I didn’t know whether or not the boss or employee planned it in advance. Which is what i meant with i wasn’t a fly. All i know is a headline triggering my dissatisfaction with the legal system.
