  ## The Story
17
 
18
- In 1997, a father in Ohio became one of the first men in the state to be legally "defathered" from his child — stripped of his parental rights under the Peter Lawson Jones Act, which established an 18-year statute of limitations for paternal determination.
19
 
20
- Nearly three decades later, that same father found himself back in Hamilton County family court. This time, fighting for a different child. This time, representing himselfbecause he couldn't afford the $5,000 retainer.
21
 
22
- No one explained how to file a motion. No one told him he had 14 days to object to a magistrate's decision. No one warned him about the rules of evidence, or how to cross-examine a witness, or when to object. He figured it all out at 2 AM, reading statutes, making mistakes that nearly cost him his case.

  ## The Council of Agents
29
 
30
- ProSe AI isn't a chatbot. It's a **council** — a team of specialized AI agents that work together like a real legal team, each with a distinct role and personality:
31
 
32
- | Agent | Role | Personality |
33
- |-------|------|-------------|
34
- | **Legal Guide** | Your main advisor through all 12 steps | Patient, thorough, defines every term |
35
- | **Research Agent** | Finds statutes, case law, and citations | Precise, citation-heavy, verifies everything |
36
- | **Mock Trial Coach** | Prepares you for the courtroom | Tough but fair, pushes you to be ready |
37
- | **Magistrate Simulator** | Simulates how the judge thinks | Formal, focused on procedure and the child's best interest |
38
- | **Opposing Counsel** | Practices cross-examination against you | Aggressive, finds weaknesses in your arguments |
39
- | **GAL Simulator** | Simulates the Guardian ad Litem | Child-focused, watches your demeanor and cooperation |
40
- | **Witness Coach** | Prepares you to testify and examine witnesses | Direct, teaches you to stay calm under pressure |
 
 
41
 
42
  ### How the Council Works
43
 
44
- **Before your hearing**, you tell the Council about your case. Each agent takes their role:
45
 
46
- - The **Mock Trial Coach** runs you through your testimony
47
- - **Opposing Counsel** cross-examines you — trying to rattle you, just like in court
48
- - The **Magistrate Simulator** asks the hard questions the judge will ask
49
- - The **GAL Simulator** evaluates whether you're focused on the child
50
- - The **Research Agent** finds the exact statute or case that supports your position
51
 
52
  **You walk into court having already faced every scenario.** Most pro se litigants walk in blind.

  ## The Story
17
 
18
+ In 1997 — two years before Ohio even created its Task Force on Family Law and Children — a father in Dayton became one of the first men in the state to be legally stripped of his parental rights under the Peter Lawson Jones Act, which established an 18-year statute of limitations for paternal determination.
19
 
20
+ That father spent the next three decades watching Ohio slowly try to fix what was broken. He watched the 2001 task force report gather dust. He watched the 2005 advisory committee recommendations stall. He watched SB325 die in committee in 2024. And now, he's watching SB174 the bill that would finally eliminate labels like "custodial parent" and expand best interest factors from 9 to 26 — sit in the Ohio House Judiciary Committee.
21
 
22
+ Then, in 2025, it happened again. Different child, same broken system. Same Hamilton County family court. Same impossible choice: hire a lawyer you can't afford, or represent yourself in a system you don't understand.
23
+
24
+ He chose to fight. No lawyer. No $5,000 retainer. Just statutes, sleepless nights, and a father's refusal to lose another child to a system that was never designed for people like him.
25
 
26
  **He built ProSe AI so no parent would ever have to go through that alone again.**

  ## The Council of Agents

32
+ ProSe AI isn't a chatbot. It's a **council** — a team of specialized AI agents that simulate every person you'll face in family court, each with a distinct role and personality:
33
 
34
+ | Agent | Role | What They Do |
35
+ |-------|------|--------------|
36
+ | **Legal Guide** | Your main advisor | Walks you through all 12 steps, defines every term |
37
+ | **Research Agent** | Finds the law | Pulls statutes, case law, ORC citations and verifies them |
38
+ | **Mock Trial Coach** | Prepares you for court | Runs you through testimony, builds your confidence |
39
+ | **Magistrate Simulator** | Simulates the judge | Formal, asks the hard questions, focused on best interest |
40
+ | **Opposing Counsel** | Cross-examines you | Aggressive, finds weaknesses so the real one can't |
41
+ | **GAL Simulator** | Simulates the Guardian ad Litem | Watches your demeanor, evaluates your cooperation |
42
+ | **Custody Investigator** | Simulates the home study | Asks about routines, home environment, co-parenting |
43
+ | **Psychologist** | Evaluates readiness | Assesses attachment, parenting capacity, emotional fitness |
44
+ | **Witness Coach** | Prepares testimony | Teaches you to stay calm, answer precisely, handle pressure |

  ### How the Council Works
47
 
48
+ **Before your hearing**, you describe your case. Each agent takes their role:
49
 
50
+ 1. The **Legal Guide** identifies which statutes and rules apply
51
+ 2. **Opposing Counsel** cross-examines you — trying to rattle you, just like in court
52
+ 3. The **Magistrate Simulator** asks the questions the judge will actually ask
53
+ 4. The **GAL Simulator** evaluates whether you're focused on the child
54
+ 5. The **Witness Coach** refines your testimony until it's bulletproof
55
 
56
  **You walk into court having already faced every scenario.** Most pro se litigants walk in blind.

60
+ ## Why This Matters Now: SB174
61
+
62
+ Ohio is in the middle of its biggest family law reform in 25 years. [Senate Bill 174](https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/sb174) — currently pending in the Ohio House — will:
63
+
64
+ - **Eliminate "custodial parent" labels** that turn parenthood into a competition
65
+ - **Expand best interest factors from 9 to 26** — giving courts a clearer roadmap
66
+ - **Maximize parenting time** with both parents when safe
67
+ - **Require written findings** if a judge rejects a jointly filed plan
68
+ - **Simplify paternity proceedings** under §3111.14
69
+
70
+ ProSe AI is built to help parents understand both the current law AND what's coming under SB174. When the law changes, our model updates. No waiting for a lawyer to learn the new rules.
