i had talked to a lawyer about her writing a letter, and the lawyer said it would be hearsay but its not a letter trying to state any facts like evidence, its just a letter representing both me and her sons character and parenting styles. but i am thinking of attaching the letter to an affidavit, she is also going to have it notarized before sending it, so its authenticated on both ends. and in the affidavit i am going to ask that either the letter be admissable or she be allowed to testify on zoom, and i will have her logged in to the zoom court for in case the judge does allow her to appear virtual as a witness. do you think that will work that the judge will either allow the letter or her to appear virtual

my affidavit was just going to say like the letter attached is from my mother in law, she has known me since i was in highschool and her son his whole life, it is simply to discuss our character and parenting styles since she could not appear today due to pending knee surgery, and living in arizona her physician advised against it. however, if judge buic [or should i say your honor on the affidavit] would allow an exception for her to witness via zoom, she will also be logged on and in the waiting room to testify. is that ok to say for an affidavis or am i suppose to explain what her iletter is saying
