I personally know the Petitioner to be a person of good character and that the Petitioner has a reputation as a person with good character and good standing in the community.''
An Affidavit of Character is a legal document that can be used to provide a character reference under oath. Also called an Affidavit of Good Moral Character, this document is your sworn declaration that the person in question is upright and moral.

The next paragraph tells the court about yourself. Statement of truth. Statement of facts. Closing statement of truth. Sign and notarize.
