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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[TJhat to support such an extreme and irreversible action as a termination of parental rights pursuant to [the statute], where there is no evidence of mental illness as manifested by child abuse by the parent, the probate court must make explicit findings beyond a reasonable doubt, supported by the record, as to the detrimental effect of the parent’s mental illness on the child, so as to require termination of parental rights.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Adam R. · In re Kristopher B.““[Termination of one spouse’s parental rights does not require termination of the rights of the other. See In re Irene W., 121 N.H. [123,] 125, 427 A.2d [24,] 26 [(1981)].... Before both parents’ rights can be terminated based on the conduct of only one parent, the record must show that no other arrangement is feasible, such as supervised visitation by the parent for whom the record does not independently support termination until such time as that parent can ensure that the home is safe for the children.””
