six years. During this time, | have spent considerable time with Veronika and her children,
and | feel confident speaking to her character and parenting. | was dismayed to hear of the
accusations made alleging alcohol and drug abuse, as well as neglect or abuse of her
children. These claims are completely contrary to everything | have observed in my time
spent with Veronika and her family.

In my experience, Veronika has always demonstrated care, responsibility, and
attentiveness toward her children. | have never witnessed her consuming alcohol or
appearing intoxicated while her children were in her custody. Similarly, | have never
observed her using or being under the influence of any illicit substances. Her home has

consistently been clean, safe, and welcoming, and her children have always appeared

happy, healthy, and well cared for.

Veronika is actively involved in her children’s lives—both at school and in their
extracurricular activities—and she shows great pride in their achievements. She is a loving
and supportive mother who clearly prioritizes the wellbeing of her family.

| have also had the opportunity to spend time with her fiancé, Colin. Our interactions have

always been respectful and positive. | have observed him to be kind and supportive in his

interactions with Veronika’s children.

Based on my firsthand experience, | believe the accusations against Veronika do not
reflect the person or parent | have come to know over the years. | hope my perspective

helps provide clarity and context in support of her character.
