3 canonical passages across 3 cases, quoted by 24 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from Conforti v. Conforti.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Conforti v. Conforti Anchor | green | “since custody determinations depend to a great extent upon an assessment of the character and credibility of the parties and witnesses, the findings of the family court will not be disturbed unless they lack a sound and substantial basis in the record” | 13 |
| 2 | Awan v. Awan | green | “in adjudicating custody and visitation rights, the most important factor to be considered is the best interests of the child” | 6 |
| 3 | Strand-O'Shea v. O'Shea | green | “modification of an existing custody arrangement is permissible only upon a showing that there has been a change in circumstances such that modification is necessary to ensure the best interests of the child” | 5 |
A red or yellow flag on a member means the underlying case has negative treatment: for those, check the case page before relying on the passage.
