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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] [trial] court should make specific findings regarding the value of a spouse's professional practice ... and should clearly indicate the evidence on which its valuations are based, preferably noting the valuation method or method on which it relied.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[o]ther than the . . . finding that its valuation was arrived at by considering the “full value of [a partially performed] contract,” there [wa]s neither an indication of the valuation method relied upon by the trial court nor an indication as to what por tion of the assigned value represented] the value of [the business’] goodwill.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In valuing a marital interest in a business, the task of the trial court is to arrive at a date of separation value which 'reasonably approximates' the net value of the business interest.”
