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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The trial court is vested with a vast amount of discretion in deciding child custody cases. Bagents v. Bagents, 419 So.2d 460 (La.1982). The procedure for appellate review is to give great weight to the determination of the trial judge and to disturb a finding only where there is a clear abuse of discretion. Bordelon v. Bordelon [ 390 So.2d 1325 (La.1980)] supra; Wallace v. Wallace [ 420 So.2d 1326 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1982) ] supra.””
