ladyleo,

Your decision not to submit to a lie detector "test" is well founded. But your plan to forge a polygraph report is ill-conceived. Sample polygraph reports are easy enough to find on-line. But while polygraph operators may not disclose results to unknown third parties, if a person contacts one explaining, "I have a copy of a report signed by you stating that you polygraphed ladyleo on such and such a date, asked such and such questions, and that no deception was indicated. Can you confirm this?" then I don't think any polygrapher would have any problem confirming that the report is a forgery.

I think a better and more ethical approach would be to let your husband and other family members know that polygraph testing has no scienific basis and a passed or failed polygraph is evidence of...nothing.

You might give your husband a printout of Professor William G. Iacono's article, "Forensic 'Lie Detection': Procedures Without Scientific Basis":

as well as Dr. Drew C. Richardson's evaluation and opinion of CQT polygraphy:

You can also refer him to our e-book The Lie Behind the Lie Detector, which explains how to pass a polygraph whether or not one is telling the truth. If you were a liar, you could have simply taken the polygraph and used countermeasures to pass:
