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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The father has shown that he was awarded primary physical custody of the child, that he and his son have lived in Franklin County for over three years, and that the underlying action is a custody petition involving the custody of the son only. He has therefore demonstrated that he has a clear legal right under § 30-3-5 to chose the venue of this action and that the trial court had no discretion to deny his choice.””
