Wednesday, October 3, 2012
District: 
1st Dist.
Division/County: 
Cook Co., 3d Div.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded.
Justice: 
STEELE
Court erred in granting partial summary judgment and awarding sole custody of child to petitioner father, as record indicates that judge believed that triable issues of fact existed, and ordered a trial to determine whether physical custody of the child should be transferred to father, which improperly shifted burden of proof to mother to regain custody in a future trial. (SALONE and NEVILLE, concurring.)
