Missing This Proof? You Could Lose Custody in Illinois - #15
Fighting for custody in Illinois, but worried your evidence won't hold up in court? In this Illinois Family Law Insider episode, Sterling Hughes’ lead attorney Jeff Hughes reveals why loving parents lose custody battles—not because they're wrong, but because they can't prove they're right.
Jeff breaks down the four evidence types that win custody cases:
- How to transform weak testimony into powerful specifics with dates, times, and child-focused consequences
- The critical documentation rules that destroy cases when ignored—and how to file early to avoid disasters
- Why text screenshots fail while color-coded timelines win: demonstrative exhibits that judges actually read
- How to select witnesses who show rather than tell—focusing on firsthand events over character references
Listen in for the exact framework that transforms your parental truth into courtroom-ready evidence.
