Probably people are allowed to lie if it isn't or can't be disproved.  This reminded of my experiences long ago.  It has to do with a sweetheart deal but probably not spouses and families.

About 25-30 years ago I was an assistant for a large NY building, some 12 floors.  Lawyers had offices in the building at a ridiculously low price in a sweetheart lease from the prior owner.  They had options for 2 or 3 renewals, I think each one was bumped up the monthly rent by $25 so over time it was becoming even more of a sweetheart deal.  I helped dig out, search and organize the rental records and found no indication they had ever exercised any options.  Not only that, they were still paying the original amount and none of the expected increases.  When the new owners finally got around to their area of the building for renovations, they refused to move to a temporary location.  So they were served notice they hadn't renewed their lease and they were asked to vacate.  It went to court.  Remember, they had a sweetheart deal, they should have been paying much more, easily ten times as much and probably more.  They presented to the court a photocopy of their lease renewal with a prior owner.  Too bad I wasn't a lawyer, I advocated asking for the original, if one even existed, and then sending it to have the signature's ink age dated.  I was so sure it would have been proven to be new ink.  But the lawyers and owners didn't contest it.  Maybe they already knew the only answer they'd get would be "this is all we found in our files."  So they started paying the slightly higher rent, moved to temporary spaces for about a month and eventually vacated when the last of their renewals was up.
