What motion would or could I file to have an inability to pay request thrown out, if the defendant lied on the inability to pay affidavit?

I was awarded a judgment in a civil suit against my old landlord that I filled. The defendant filed an appeal with the inability to pay (for the bond post) but lied on the Inability to pay affidavit. She said that she didn’t have any additional income, real property and only one checking account. However, in reality she has real property that she owns, a second checking account and businesses in her name.

You need to file documentation to appeal this decision or to reopen the matter by providing the relevant documentation. No documentation no reopening of the matter. Do not wait because you won't want your appeal period to end.
