More details to this question:
The person who signed this suit resides in another state and had previously stated to my wife and me that an allegation (now listed on the suit) was not true; he stated "the right questions were not asked (by the third party) and the description was not that of me". Within the 'VERIFICATION' section of the suit he SWORE TO THE NOTARIZATION that he "I believe them (the allegations) to be true and correct". Would he be LIABLE for knowingly signing this legal document which allowed it to be sent to the court?

If you can prove that he knowiingly swore falsely, he could certianly be sanctioned by the court, and could possibly face criminal charges. However, first things first. You have to defend the lawsuit.
