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 petition to change child custody should be granted only if the trial court finds that there has been a material change of condition affecting the welfare of the child since the last custody award. If there has been such a change, then the court should base its new custody decision on the best interest of the child. (Citations and punctuation omitted.) Lynch v. Horton , 302 Ga. App. 597 , 600 (4), 692 S.E.2d 34 (2010) ; see Daniel v. Daniel , 250 Ga. App. 482 , 483-484 (2), 552 S.E.2d 479 (2001) (once a divorce decree has been approved and a permanent child custody award has been entered, the test for use by the trial court in change of custody suits is whether there has been a change of condition affecting the welfare of the child). The trial court may consider a variety of relevant factors in determining the best interest of the child. See OCGA § 19-9-3 (a) (3).”
