Re
:
Letter
of
Reference
-
Child
Custody
Matter
of
Lin
;
Case
No
.
BD
-123456
Dear
Judge
Alvarez
:
I
am
writing
to
provide
a
character
and
custody
reference
for
Sarah
T
.
Lin
in
connection
with
the
above
-
referenced
matter
.
I
have
known
Ms
.
Lin
and
her
daughter
,
Chloe
Lin
,
for
eight
years
,
first
as
neighbors
in
the
Highland
Park
community
and
subsequently
as
colleagues
in
the
Pasadena
Unified
School
District
Parent
-
Teacher
Association
,
where
I
serve
as
a
parent
advocate
and
licensed
clinical
social
worker
.
In
my
professional
and
personal
capacity
,
I
have
had
extensive
opportunity
to
observe
Ms
.
Lin
'
s
parenting
practices
and
the
home
environment
she
provides
for
Chloe
.
Ms
.
Lin
has
been
Chloe
'
s
primary
caregiver
since
birth
and
has
consistently
prioritized
her
daughter
'
s
physical
health
,
emotional
security
,
and
educational
development
.
I
have
witnessed
her
navigate
Chloe
'
s
asthma
diagnosis
in
2022
with
extraordinary
diligence
.
It
is
my
firm
professional
and
personal
opinion
that
Sarah
T
.
Lin
is
the
parent
best
suited
to
provide
Chloe
with
a
stable
,
loving
,
and
developmentally
appropriate
home
.
I
respectfully
urge
the
Court
to
award
primary
physical
custody
to
Ms
.
Lin
and
to
structure
visitation
in
a
manner
that
preserves
Chloe
'
s
sense
of
security
and
routine
.
Please
do
not
hesitate
to
contact
me
if
you
require
any
additional
information
.
Respectfully
submitted
,
Margaret
