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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he appropriate standard of review in a custody modification is abuse of discretion. Nevertheless, before we can presume the trial court's decision correct, it must be supported by the record. A clear abuse of discretion occurs when a challenged decision is against or unjustified by reason and evidence. Further, even where the trial court is vested with broad discretionary powers, its order will be reversed if it erred with respect to a pure, simple and unmixed question of law.”
