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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“"that, under § 46b-56b , the plaintiff still had the burden of showing `that it would be in the best interests of the child to award custody to her. [The plaintiff, however,] is aided by a presumption in her favor which may be overcome only by substantial evidence which proves that such a change would be detrimental to the child.' The court explained that `[a]lthough the . . . presumption [does] not . . . shift the burden of proof as a matter of law . . . [i]f the opposing party's evidence fails to prove the rebutting facts . . . [the] presumption must be accepted as true.'"”
