Character Reference Letter for a Parent Seeking Child Custody

Families are not always happy families neither do the family members always live together. In the case of mutual conflict, divorces, etc., the parents of a child part ways. In such situations, it is the child that suffers. He either has to go to the childcare centers adopted by someone or has to reside with one of his parents. The parent of a child might want to claim to take the child in his custody. For this, he/she has to prove that he/she can take good care of the child and can give him a good environment.

A character reference letter is written as one of the supporting documents for this purpose. This letter is written by an acquaintance or friend of the parent wanting the child’s custody. The person writing the character reference letter must know the parent personally.

To Whom It May Concern

I have known Mr. [name] for the last [number] of years as a colleague and I am a witness to his dedication and devotion to his children. He is a very responsible person and as a father, he takes an active part in raising his children whether it is their education or extracurricular activities he is always involved and makes sure that the children do not get neglected no matter how busy he is working.

He is also very stable financially and hence capable of supporting the children comfortably. I feel that in this current scenario he is the best person to have the children’s custody as that would mean that the children’s lives would have minimum disruption and they would continue to live in their home and keep going to the same school in their father’s loving care.

Mr. [name] is an emotionally stable, adoring, and kind parent and I assure you that the children would be well taken care of. They would be safe and happy with him. I strongly recommend him for the children’s custody. For any further queries, feel free to get in touch with me at [email address] or [phone number].

Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern

I have known Mrs. [name] for the last ten years. I know her as a neighbor and as my children’s teacher. She is a primary teacher in the public school and is well respected in the community due to her hard work, kind nature, and genuine concern for all her students. I have personally observed her positive influence on my son who was her student.

As a neighbor I have been a close observer of her parenting which is why I say without any doubt or hesitation that she should be given custody of her children. The way she has raised her children without any financial or emotional support from her husband is a struggle we have all seen and admired.

Mr. [name] is a very irresponsible and violent person. He has not fulfilled any of his responsibilities in their fifteen years of marriage. He has neither supported his family financially nor taken any interest in the children’s education or their upbringing. He is a workaholic with no concept of work-life balance, and he is physically and emotionally absent most of the time.

Mrs. [name] has been raising the children practically like a single parent all their life; as all their school fees, health care bills, extracurricular activities, hospital visits, arranging their birthdays, pick and drop from school everything has always been her sole responsibility.

I feel that it is safe to say that she can take care of the children on her own and the children would be better-taken care of and safer with her. For any further queries, please feel free to get in touch on [email address] or [phone number].

Dear [Recipient’s Name]

My name is [enter name] and I am working as [enter title] at [enter organization]. I am currently residing in [enter place]. Mr. [parent name] happens to been my neighbor since [enter period]. For some reason, his marriage could not prove to be successful and hence ended up in divorce. However, I think, unsuccessful marriages cannot prove a person’s character wrong.

Because I know him and his background quite well, I can say with full responsibility that his marriage failed because his wife was not serious to get along. Otherwise, as a person, I see Mr. [enter name] as a person of high character. I have also observed him a few times when his child comes to meet him. He is friendly with him and takes good care of him/her too.

I am sure he owns the potential to raise his child in the best environment and hence his child should be given to his custody.
