Question

I am writing a sidenote, and I want to say he just wanted to control the situation by making me force the kids to include his involvement without their consent in a formal corporate way. Can you word this without emotion?

Answer 1

Here are three neutral phrasings you can use:

1. "He sought to control the situation by having me require the children, without their consent, to acknowledge his involvement in a formal corporate document."

2. "He attempted to assert control by instructing me to have the children (without their consent) formally record his involvement in corporate records."

3. "He intended to control the situation by having me require, without the children's consent, that his involvement be included in official corporate documentation."

Tell me if you want a shorter or more formal version.
