Thank you for your question.  I know how worried you must be about the false statements made by your spouse regarding service of the divorce papers.  The short answer is that it is up to the Judge what penalties to impose if it can be proven that false statements were made.  Another consideration however is the filing of a Motion to lift the default divorce entered against you based upon the false statements so that the Judge can “reopen” the divorce case.  There are limited circumstances under which such a motion can be filed and strict timelines for filing such a motion.  You should immediately contact an experienced family law attorney to protect your interests and ensure that your rights are preserved.     I hope this information was helpful to you.
