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 .[chancery court’s] findings of fact will not be disturbed- unless manifestly wrong or clearly erroneous. This Court will not disturb the findings of a [chancery court] when supported by. substantial evidence unless the [chancery court] abused [its] discretion, was, manifestly wrong, clearly erroneous[,] or an erroneous legal standard was applied. Furthermore, we'will affirm the child-custody decree if the record shows any ground upon which the decision may be justified. .We will-not arbitrarily substitute our judgment for that of the [chancery court, which] is in the best position to evaluate all factors relating to the best interest of the child.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In every proceeding where the custody of a child is in dispute, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it is detrimental to the child and not in the best interest of the child to be placed in sole custody, joint legal custody or joint physical custody of a parent who has a history of perpetrating family violence.”
