Mr Wrench said Ms Burgess handed a 50-page affidavit over to police six days after Mr Burgess made an application to the Family Court,believed to be in relation to the couple's children.
"Our position quite bluntly is this appears to be born out of malice or retaliation,"he said.
Mr Wrench said he would also most likely be filing an application to have both Ms Burgess and her father,Mitchell Hooke,held in contempt of court.
He said the pair are believed to have leaked Ms Burgess'statement toThe Australian. He told the court the father and daughter had been engaged in"long conversations"with the newspaper.

Mr Wrench said his client"categorically denied"all the allegations made against him in the media reports and that his legal team had"not even seen"the 50-page affidavit in question.
Mr Burgess'legal team was in court on Wednesday over one charge of intimidation and one charge of common assault levelled against their client last year,after a clash with Mr Hooke on October 19.
