My brother in laws ex is taking him to court for Temporary Restarining order. She has already remove his child from his home. There are people who know her and I willing to have a paper notarized as to what type of person she is. How can they go about preparing a letter and notarize it for the courts.

I do believe they would have to appear in person to give their statements. If a notarized letter is produced saying this person is not fit, that could open up a whole hornet's nest with possible defamation of character suits. Just my thought on this. This is something I would never do, if asked.

I will try to have them appear. Some work and I will hard for them to come to the court.

Thank you.

Notarization simply certifies the identity of the signer. It has not legal weight other than that. If your brother in law needs character witnesses to help him get visitation and/or to fight the restraining order, then those witnesses either need to show for a hearing or be deposed by the ex's attorney.

I will try to have them appear. Some work and I will hard for them to come to the court.

Thank you.

If for some reason they can't appear but are material to the case. Then you could depose them. You would ask them for a deposition. A deposition is a legal document taken under oath and can be crossexamined.
