You are contesting the case through an able, competent and intelligent lawyer, who is well versed with facts and circumstances of your case, what is his/ her opinion / advise ? If you have lost faith in him/ her (your lawyer engaged / paid by you) you must change him/ her immediately.

Why do you need second opinion and obligation of experts on the basis of limited facts posted by you except the fact it is available FREE OF COST ?

The elements what you have mentioned may not be sufficient to file a perjury case against her.

You have to prove that she has lied on oath before court with substantial documentary evidences  after which you can file a perjury case against her false affidavit.

Even if you can prove that the Affidavit is false, PERJURY is not attracted.     Perjury is attracted only if something is done in the Court, not outside.      The Affidavit was executed outside the Court and produced in the Court afterwards.      Had it been in the custody of the Court and had it been manipulated while it's in the custody, only then is Perjury attracted.

FORGERY is, however, attracted in your case.
