Most assume courts "split custody 50/50 by default." They don't. Illinois weighs 17 statutory factors. Parenting time is built case by case. Generic assumptions cost families real outcomes.

Document everything now, not later. In custody disputes, courts weigh consistent records over memory. A simple dated log of parenting time beats a perfect story told months after the fact.
