Full Conversation

I am in process of getting a divorce from my wife in California. She has fabricated many lies about me making me out to be a mean, unfair, abusive, uncaring man. I have had one divorce before this one and my ex wife knows I am a good person. I have always been there to support my ex wife since we divorced many years ago. She would like to write a character letter to the court in support of me and to let them know that I am a good man. Can you show me a template or example letter she could use please
Certainly, ****! Here's a template your ex-wife could use for the character letter:
