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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a claim for] equitable distribution of marital property is a statutory right granted to spouses under North Carolina law. N.C. Gen.Stat. § 50-20. The right is a “species of common ownership ... vesting at the time of the parties’ separation.” N.C. Gen.Stat. § 50-20(b). This vested right, however, does not ... create a property right in the marital property, [citation omitted].”
