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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In reviewing child custody determinations, the trial court’s decision “ ‘is to be afforded great deference on appeal and will not be disturbed absent a clear abuse of discretion.’ ” Martin v. Martini, 11-1496, p. 2 (La.App. 8 Cir. 5/16/12), 89 So.3d 526, 528 (quoting Franklin v. Franklin 99-1738 (La.App. 3 Cir. 5/24/00) , 768 So.2d 759 ). Louisiana Civil Code Article 131 directs that “[i]h a proceeding for divorce or thereafter, the court shall award-custody of a child in accordance with the best interest of the child." As such, custody cases are to be decided upon their “own particular facts and circumstances,” keeping in mind that “the paramount goal is to do what is in the best interest of the minor children.” Hebert v. Blanchard, 97-550, p. 4 (La.App. 3 Cir. 10/29/97), 702 So.2d 1102, 1105 .”
