NSW Will Ex Get in Trouble for False Domestic Violence Charge?

My ex-wife recently had me charged for domestic violence and common assault. She said I grabbed her arm. She went to toilet pinched her arm and took a photo during a heated argument where I swore at her and threw some of her clothes out the door.

If I plead not guilty and at the hearing and she confesses she made it up because I threatened to go for full custody of my son, will she get it any trouble?

 

My ex-wife recently had me charged with common assault domestic violence. She said I grabbed her arm but I didn't. She went to bathroom and pinched it herself and took a photo to get me in trouble, cause I was threatening full custody of our son.

Thing is, now she realizes if I get a conviction, I could lose my job.

She wants to go to court and tell the truth about what happened. I asked a lawyer about this and what would happen if she did that. Would she go to jail? My lawyer said no because it's different from making a statement and then recanting as it's in court and is a totally different thing.

Basically if she says I did it in court and then says I didn't, she will get in trouble, but if she just goes in there and says she did it, she won't get in any trouble is this true?
