Book Description 
 
This book includes the OPTION to use a FREE AI tool trained on Lore by DeJure framework**
 
Family Lore: Meeting the Criteria turns a confusing process into a workable plan. It does not teach law, it shows you how to think, the way courts do. You’ll use a simple structure (IRAC: Issue → Rule → Apply → Conclude) and two companion tools: Meeting the Criteria: identify the rule being applied and the exact hurdles it sets (evidence, risk, necessity, least-intrusive option). Reverse Engineering: break a claim back to its legal test, then show, step by step, where it’s met or not.
 
The book separates legal and equitable reasoning (substance over form, clean hands, good faith) so you can use equity safely, as a fairness check after you’ve addressed statute and guidance.
 
What you’ll learn/do:
 
Apply the welfare checklist in plain English and keep proposals child-focused.
Tell allegation from evidence and ask, What proof? What threshold?
 
Use and challenge Section 7 reports; understand Sections 17/37/47 and what they actually permit. Handle domestic abuse orders (non-molestation/occupation) by testing necessity and proportionality.
 
Speak to the judge with short, respectful scripts; request addendum reports where methods or facts are weak. Propose stepped contact routes that manage risk without unnecessary bans. Keep your character steady: mature, accountable, solution-led—for your child.
 
Built from real cases and written for lay readers, Family Lore gives you model statements, question prompts, and mini-templates you can adapt without legal jargon.
 
It won’t fight your case for you, but it will help you meet the criteria, reverse-engineer weak claims, and present clear, proportionate orders the court can adopt. Above all, it keeps the child, not the conflict, at the centre.
