Perjury and dishonesty charges against the wife of disgraced former Queensland MP Scott Driscoll will return to court in May.

Emma Driscoll is charged with 10 counts of making a false entry in a record, three counts of perjury and three counts of knowingly giving an official a document that was false or misleading.

Driscoll didn't appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court when the case was briefly mentioned on Monday.

Her lawyers said they were still examining the evidence against her and the case was adjourned to May 5.

Charges were laid against Driscoll amid a joint police and Crime and Misconduct Commission investigation into her and her husband's financial dealings.

Former independent MP Scott Driscoll quit the parliament in November after its ethics committee found him guilty of misleading the house about his financial interests and role in the Queensland Retail Traders and Shopkeepers Association.

The committee fined the 38-year-old former member for Redcliffe $90,000 for contempt.
