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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial court is authorized to modify an original custody award upon a showing of new and material changes in the conditions and circumstances substantially affecting the interest and welfare of the child. Any change in custody is subject to the trial court's discretion based on the best interests of the child. We view the evidence in favor of upholding the trial court's order and will affirm if there is any reasonable evidence to support the decision.”
