Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A pure best interest test looks to the best custodial situation available for the child and then places the child there. Under Perales , parental custody is presumed to be in the best interests of the child unless it can be shown that placement with a parent will be detrimental to the child. * * * Simply because one situation or environment would have been the 'better' situation, does not mean the other is detrimental or harmful to the child."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In [a] child custody proceeding between a parent and a nonparent, the hearing officer may not award custody to the nonparent without first making a finding of parental unsuitability-that is, without first determining that a preponderance of the evidence shows that the parent abandoned the child, that the parent contractually relinquished custody of the child, that the parent has become *Page 7 totally incapable of supporting or caring for the child, or that an award of custody to the parent would be detrimental to the child.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he requirement that an affidavit be filed in a party's first pleading [under R.C. 3109.27 ] has been relaxed to allow amended pleading or subsequent filings to include the affidavit information.”
