To Whom It May Concern:

I confirm that I have worked with Jon Doe at Acme Company for over three years. Jon has been the top representative at our company for many consecutive years and continues to make and break his own company records.

Jon is hard working, extremely self motivated and is always open to opportunities for self betterment. In the years that I’ve worked with him, even in times of great stress, he maintains a positive attitude and is level headed; handling problems both assertively and precisely. He constantly speaks highly of his three children and it’s evident that he’s very sensitive to their needs, thoughts and feelings.

Please feel free to contact me for any further information.

Cordially,

(my name)

This Friday is the bench trial for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order- this is the second one in four years that my adult daughter has filed. The first was dismissed for lack of merit. Her current allegations are way off the charts since I have had little to no contact since the first one. O.K.- to my question… are judges prudent when granting DVROs or do
they hand them out like candy on Halloween? I am pro per in California. Any experiences?
I thought I might add that it is and never was an issue of physical abuse. She is claiming that I intend to kidnap my grandson. Charming daughter, isn’t she? She and my grandson lived with me while she earned her college degree. I supported both of them. It was actually a great time. Perhaps she is resentful because her child bonded with me and not her. Not my fault- she was rarely there. Like I stated earlier, there has been very little contact- NONE of which has been face to face.
And I have NEVER even so much as implied an intent to abduct my grandson. Where would I take him? To my secret villa in Spain? The singular deed for which I DO accept accountability is sending a small family photo album to my grandson. This was after my father passed away. I did not want my grandson to forget his family- the family that he adored and the family that was taken from him on a malicious whim. FYI- In giving this photo album, there was NO physical or verbal contact with my grandson. He is now 12 years old.

In desperate need of help!!! My husband and I just got a call from my stepson (my husbands son)’ s school. Apparently our son’s “birth” mother went to the school and allowed him to get signed out of high school so that he can go to night school. We went to see the principal this morning and he let him back into the school. He is failing and played hooky for 24 days. We now have to go to hearing through the board of Ed to find out if he will be left back. We will do what we have to do but long story short. Our child’s birth mother had no right to sign him out of school. Our son’s primary residence is with us not her!! Legally what can we do? My husband is so upset. We want to call her and tell her we will no longer be sending the kids to see her on Wednesdays any longer. If we do this, is that considered kidnapping? Legally we don’t want to get in any trouble but we have had enough! What would happen if we refuse her the visitations?

Thank you so much for any help and advice!!!

S?LAT asked:


Long story short, my cousin and I grew up more like brothers than cousins, we’ve always been very close. Earlier this year I lent him a substantial amount of money. He signed an agreement with a payment schedule. I have been very patient with him but now I really need the $ back to support my family.

He has not paid a dime back and was supposed to start monthly payments in April. For the most part he avoids me, when we do talk he gives BS ‘check is in the mail’ type excuses.

I’m leaning towards small claims court. Have any of you done this? Did it completely ruin the relationship?
I’ve had open discussions with him and he is very well aware of my position. I’m prepared for the relationship to be impacted. From where I sit, it already has been due to the lack of respect and lies on his part.

My friend’s Dad is trying to take him (who is 16) and his sister (who is 18) away from there mom by saying that “their lost” and she isn’t taking good care of them. But actually their mom takes way better care of them then their dad. She’s always there for them, she feeds them and provide them shelter. But they don’t want to live with him because he treats them wrong. He does things to make himself look good as a father. He also talks junk about them saying things to put them down, infront of them and doesnt consider their feelings. Is their anyway or anything to do make it so that their mother wins??
They’re on like welfare & food stamps and other things that help people with jobs and getting money.

EDWARD M asked:


I was ordered by family court to put $35K into a trust fund for my son in 2006. I had to take it from my tax deferred annuity. The money is for secondary education, but if not used for this, still passes to him with trustee approval for its reasonable use. I am on SSDI. Because of this one time court ordered funding, not only the 35K is being taxed, but so is my 2006 SSDI. I used Turbo Tax and owe a lot of taxes(Fed+State). Is there any way this tax due can be spread over years, such as income averaging? Does averaging even still exist in tax law?

My GF is in a custody case for her son against the father and her parents. The judge is going to order testing and counseling for everyone involved. I am not part of the case but live with GF and son. Are orders refering to me legaly binding or will it just look bad if I refuse? Can I be fined for contempt if I am not officialy listed as a party to the case?
As far as me being directly involved I need to clarify. I am involved in the situation but I am not a party in the case. I am reminded this often as I have to struggle to be in the courtroom with her and am not allowed to move or even say anything. I was specifically told by the judge I am not involved. So, how can she order anything without me being named in the case, charged with a crime are even have a lawyer present?
Thanks for the input. Yes I agree and understand what you said. But in your example the judge’s order pertains to the child and parent not the roomate directly. In your example can the judge order the ROOMATE specifically to leave or get rehab? A direct order to the roomate is not the same as giving a “do this or else” order to the parent. Honestly the 3 of us are in counciling already. I have no problem if the next order says “all parties agree to councling” but with out me having representation or recourse I just don’t see how the judge can say “I order x (me) to go to councling.
Thanks .02. I consulted with my atty who happens to be the best around and he agrees.

Sugar asked:


My ex has done some nasty things to me over the last 10 years I’ve known him. The stories would be a bit long, so I won’t go into them. We share a child. He is going to jail for drunk driving that killed someone. I have sent many messages to him wanting child support and I could get quite nasty in some of them. He says he has them saved. When he is gone to jail I would like to go for sole custody of my daughter, I have been raising her alone for her whole life. Could he use these emails, could he even fight me if he is in jail? Would I win, because he is in jail and has never paid child support? Thanks for any reply.
None of my emails were threats, just reactions to the situation. I hope that makes a difference in a court situation. My child would definetely have no problem with saying she wants to live with me, she has made it quite clear she doesn’t want to live with her father. He lives very dirty, has a drinking problem and doesn’t work.
I noticed someone commented that he has no money, he can’t get custody. So far his current lawyer has cost almost $100,000 (2.5 years). Who is paying for it? His very rich father. His father won’t give his son money to help pay for his daughter, but his father will pay for the best lawyer for him to get custody of his daughter.

ProbablyME asked:


during our divorce/custody trial my soon to be ex wife has claimed domestic violence. she has left our kids several times during their lives and i believe is trying to use a false claim of DV as an excuse why. we have never had any police involvement, no calls, no interventions, nothing. no restraiing orders, no pictures, nobody testified to any abuse during before or after any incidents she claimed.

i have had some sort of custody since 2003 but we have been going through this divorce for about one year. our case is in the judge’s hands and it will probably be a couple of weeks before we have a final decision. can the judge find me guilty of DV with no evidence? can she just arbitrarily just find that i am guilty of that thus taking my kids away because of a false allegation?
there is no witnesses, no police reports, no hospital records, nothing like that; just her allegations.
