JUSTICE COOK, concurring in part and dissenting in part: I agree with everything the majority has said and done except for the reversal in part and remand. I disagree with that portion of the opinion, for the reasons set out in my dissent in People ex rel. Hines v. Hines (1992), 236 Ill. App. 3d 739, 748-53, 602 N.E.2d 902, 909-12 (Cook, J., dissenting). Defendant should not be allowed to benefit on review from his failure to present evidence to the trial court. We should affirm unless defendant has convinced us the trial court was wrong. The fact that we do not understand how the trial court reached its decision does not mean the trial court was wrong.
