**In the prior Episodes 10A & 10B: We discussed WHY you need to learn case law...and we reviewed HOW to search for case law in your State using Google Scholar.

**In this Episode, 10C: I walk you through AN EXAMPLE of how to find case law in Illinois, and then we read the highlights of a case together. This hands-on example will help you think through: "What facts in MY case can I present in MY trial, to get 50/50 or primary custody?”. This case is a great example showing you how to connect the actual Facts of your case to the Law.

**If you're a Dad fighting for custody of your kids in Family Court, you've come to the right place! I'm creating this educational series to help dads get equal parenting time or primary custody in family court. I got primary custody, only because of enormous effort. I should've had primary custody on Day 1, but it took over 3 years. Dads shouldn't have to go through that just to be treated as equal parents. My goal is to level the playing field since I found family court is obviously biased against dads. I'll teach you strategies I used to win custody. You need to learn how to navigate the system ASAP.

**Dads should have equal parenting rights, whether unmarried or getting a divorce. You may want temporary custody, primary custody, joint physical custody, 50/50 parenting, or legal custody. You're getting a divorce from your ex, not your kids. Win by focusing on the best interests of the child. If you have a Restraining Order against you, the Silver Bullet can be deadly. But if restraining orders are based on false allegations, you can turn that around to your advantage. I did. And you have to navigate the forensic evaluation, CPS/children's services investigations.
