Is there a penalty of perjury in family law?

K asked:
Me and my wife are in process of divorce. Next month is our discovery date. She didn’t disclosed two bank accounts when official disclosure notice was sent to her but I knew that she had funds in those accounts. I let my lawyer ask (on papers) if she does not have two extra bank accounts and funds in them. She finally replied that yes but she has not used them (which is a lie). She actually have taken the money out from them and transferred into a family friends account. She only agree to have accounts so far. Is there a penalty for lying under oath in family law? How when if the bank account searches bring the truth on table. How if the bank transfers will show up in the transaction records. How if she provided fake childcare receipts to collect more money from me? How if she is found lying for the first child care payment which she denies that she never received it? Is there some punishment/penalty?
