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.

“Chancellors are afforded wide latitude in fashioning equitable remedies in domestic relations matters, and their decisions will not be reversed if the findings of fact are supported by substantial credible evidence in the record. We will not disturb a chancellor's factual findings unless the chancellor's decision was manifestly wrong or clearly erroneous, or the chancellor applied an improper legal standard. We do not substitute our judgment for that of the chancellor, even if we disagree with the findings of fact and would arrive at a different conclusion. But when reviewing a chancellor's interpretation and application of the law, our standard of review is de novo.”
