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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is no specific provision in the Code of Civil Procedure governing venue in custody actions. Such an action incidental to an action for separation or divorce is generally brought in the parish of proper venue for the principal action. However, when the initial fixing of custody occurs after divorce, the venue of the action to obtain custody is determined by reference to the law governing tutorship proceedings, since custody of the minor is one of the elements of tutorship. CCP Art. 4261. Venue in tutorship proceedings lies in the parish where the minor resides. CCP Art. 4031.””
