Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am representing myself in court and my ex-husband has filed for full custody, we have joint custody at this time. I need a good opening statement and need to know what to include to prove I am a fit parent. I do not drink, I do not smoke, I have re-married and therefore I am not in and out of relationships. Thanks
