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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In deciding visitation, the trial court has very broad discretion, looking always to the best interest of the child. When the trial court has exercised that discretion, this [C]ourt will not interfere unless the evidence shows a clear abuse of discretion, and where there is any evidence to support the trial court's finding, this [C]ourt will not find there was an abuse of discretion.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he final order in any legal action involving the custody of a child, including modification actions, shall incorporate a permanent parenting plan as further set forth in this Code section[.]”
