1. “'The judgment was issued based upon ore tenus proceedings. Where the trial court's findings are based on evidence received ore tenus , " ' " '[o]ur standard of review is very limited.... A custody determination of the trial court entered upon oral testimony is accorded a presumption of correctness on appeal, ... and we will not reverse unless the evidence so fails to support the determination that it is plainly and palpably wrong, or unless an abuse of the trial court's discretion is shown. To substitute our judgment for that of the trial court would be to reweigh the evidence. This Alabama law does not allow.' " " ' Ex parte Perkins , 646 So.2d 46 , 47 (Ala. 1994) (citations omitted) (quoting Phillips v. Phillips , 622 So.2d 410 , 412 (Ala. Civ. App. 1993) ).
