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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“"Under the well-established ore tenus rule, the trial court's judgment is presumed correct; this court will not reverse the judgment absent a showing that the trial court's findings are plainly and palpably wrong or that the trial court abused its discretion. Tompkins v. Tompkins , 843 So.2d 759 , 764 (Ala. Civ. App. 2002). Moreover, matters relating to child support 'rest soundly within the trial court's discretion, and will not be disturbed on appeal absent a showing that the ruling is not supported by the evidence and thus is plainly and palpably wrong.' Bowen v. Bowen , 817 So.2d 717 , 718 (Ala. Civ. App. 2001)."”

“"[W]hen a trial court's judgment ' "is based on evidence that is not before the appellate court, we conclusively presume that the court's judgment is supported by the evidence. Mitchell v. Mitchell , 506 So.2d 1009 (Ala. Civ. App. 1987)." ' Leeth [v. Jim Walter Homes, Inc.] , 789 So.2d [243,] 247 [ (Ala. Civ. App. 2000) ](quoting Newman [v. State] , 623 So. 2d [1171,] 1172 [ (Ala. Civ. App. 1993) ] ; see also Smith v. Smith , 596 So.2d 1 (Ala. 1992). Based on the trial court's judgment, and in light of the omissive nature of the record before us on appeal, we presume in this case that the trial court acted correctly. Leeth , 789 So.2d at 247 ; Smith , 596 So.2d at 1 ."”
