Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]f a party to the action dies during the pendency of the action, but prior to the entry of a [final] decree granting dissolution of marriage, separation, annulment or determination of paternity, the proceedings for the determination, division and distribution of marital property rights and debts ... shall not abate. The court shall conclude the proceedings as if both parties had survived.”
