My sister's boyfriend needs a letter of recommendation to give his lawyer in a child custody case. He currently has visitation rights for his 3 children but is looking to have them more often. I have known him for at least 1 1/2 years and have seen him quite a few times with his children. So, I feel comfortable writing the letter but I have no idea what to say! I was trying to find a template for this type of letter online and would appreciate any sample letters I could be directed to. Please help!

you need to put down the things you have seen him doing with his children, the type of person he is, the type of parent he is, anything else you may think would help him, keep it no longer than a page as a judge doesnt want to sit and read pages of items. just keep it simple and to the point. Dont overdo it so that he looks "perfect" but dont leave out anything important either. also put down the length of time you have known him and about how many times you have seen him interacting with his children

I don't know of any sample letters of this sort. The best way for you to approach this is with an open heart and an open mind. Put the letter in YOUR words with YOUR experiences and YOUR feelings. I wrote a letter of reccomendation for a dear friend of mine years ago. The best thing for you to do for the children and your bf's brother is to write your own letter. Make sure you tell them why YOU think he is a good father. Tell of the way the children act when with their father. Speak of his character. Speak of any experiences YOU have had first hand both with him on a one on one basis and with his children. Hope this helps. This is not an easy task, I know.
Good Luck.

I do not know of any templates.
This is a letter that should come from personal perspective. Tell of the times you have seen him with the children, and what happened when he was with them to cause you to think he should have more time with them.
Think of the peice of paper as being a person, who has just come up and asked you, what do you think of this person and his children? Why do you think he should have more time with his children. etc.
If you have heard the children say "I wish i could see you more." tell that.

If he's worthy of the recommendation, it should come from the children of his mother..or a professional..Getting a letter like that from a girlfriend's sister is tacky, to say the least. I think he's trying to push the ex's buttons and using you to do it. Does he really not have anyone else to do this? You've only known him a year and a half, shouldn't there be a person who's been in his life a little longer who can vouche for his character??? This guy makes me suspicious. Don't do it.

Hate to trust the final person, yet you will possibly desire to get an lawyer. in any different case, she'll only shop on hopping on the belongings you have completed. i'm hoping you attended some form of counseling, it will make you look as in case you attempt to alter a number of the undesirable habit (hitting women human beings). i'm hoping all of it works out, a newborn desires his father.

In your letter you need to tell how long you have known him, how you two met,what you see when you see him and his kids together,have your name on it and you have to have it notterised(fogive me for my spelling i hope you get what i am saying)The best thing he needs to do is ask his lawyer for a paper for people to fill out that will decrisbes your friend,after he gets this papers filled out, then he can take it to court and he will have a good leg to stand on.

All you have to do is write from your heart. Say what you know and say what you've seen of him as a true father to his children.

That's the problem with state/government marriage licenses. They own you and you are powerless.
It don't really matter if your sister's brother has 100 letters, this criminal government runs the game.

If he deserves more time then be honest and talk from your heart about his relationship with his kids.
