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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The paramount consideration in determining to whom custody should be granted is always the welfare of the children. Fulco v. Fulco, 259 La. 1122 , 254 So.2d 603 (1971); State ex rel. Killman v. Gurley, 354 So.2d 755 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1958). Since the judicial system imposes upon trial judges the duty of deciding child custody cases, the judges must have authority and discretion commensurate with that responsibility. See Stevens v. Stevens, 340 So.2d 584 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1976). The decision must not be disturbed absent a clear abuse of discretion. Gurley, supra, Landry v. Landry, 339 So.2d 360 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1976).””
