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 64 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(1) The wishes of the child’s parents regarding his custody; “(2) The wishes of the child regarding his custody if he is eleven years of age or older; “(3) The child’s interaction and interrelationship with his parents, siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child’s best interest; “(4) The child’s adjustment to his home, school, and community; “(5) The mental and physical health of all persons involved in the situation.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘An interlocutory order respecting custody of children made pursuant to Civ.R. 75(M) is by its very nature temporary and is subject to modification upon the entering of the final divorce decree. Therefore, the trial court need not make a finding as to the requirements of R.C. 3109.04(B) prior to entering a final custody decree, as the provisions of R.C. 3109.04(B) are only applicable to final decrees awarding custody in the action or a subsequent modification of such final decrees.’ ” See, also, Spence v. Spence (1981), 2 Ohio App.3d 280 , 2 OBR 310, 441 N.E.2d 822 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In addressing such formidable decisions in the family law arena, we frequently emphasize that in proceedings involving the custody and welfare of children, the power of the trial court to exercise discretion is peculiarly important.”
