Sorry, but I think that "mentir de" is not correct
"Hablar de" would be right, but mentir is a different verb.
So, you can say Mentir sobre los problemas, or also
Mentir acerca de los problemas, perhaps

mentir de los problemas de su familia.
de=about/concerning hablábamos de ti We were talking about you.
mentir sobre los problemas would also be understood.
