I need to write a letter about someones bad character and address it to the courts,dont no how to begin?

Question

How do you tell the court about someones bad character without you looking bad!!! Also how should the heading of the letter be.PLEASE HELP! STRESS!!!!!

Answer 1

Start with: To Whom it may concern,......

Answer 2

A good trick for starting a letter is write
I am writing you because .... Then write the letter (example .. On January 12 of 2006 shortly after moving ... .) Then after erase the 'I am writing you because' part.
Also try writing the letter in an objective style. This will make it seem less personal. And finally don't worry so much about sounding bad writing about someones character. I would assume that the judge will understand the context and motive for writing but make sure to stick to major points you don't want to come across as petty.

Answer 3

You would just simply put in 1-4 paragraphs their behaviors, with what YOU really feel about them. If this is a character judgement then how are you looking bad? It's what the courts need for input on how to properly do what they are supposed to do which is judge and rehabilitate. Just do not slander (example:i want johnny to rot in hell or put away for life he not worthy of anything)...say what you like and dislike about them instead.
If it is a child it gets complicated. So I am not quite sure how to tell you or suggest to you what is "proper". But I will say for your benefit if you can manage to pull out somewhere from the depth of your heart something nice about this person please try to include that in the closing paragraph, it can only help make your statement more valid because you do not look too vindictive.
I wish you luck.

Answer 4

I would start with how I came to know the person and how long I have known them for, then give a few examples of situations where you witnessed the bad character.
It probably won't count in court, especially if you aren't testifying in person, even if notarized.
