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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““1. The court may grant reasonable visitation rights to the grandparents of the child and issue any necessary order to enforce the decree. The court may grant grandparent visitation when: (1)The parent of the child have filed for a dissolution of their marriage. A grandparent shall have the right to intervene in any dissolution action solely on the issue of visitation rights. Grandparents shall also have the right to file a motion to modify the original decree of dissolution to seek visitation rights when such rights have been denied to them; (2) One parent of the child is deceased and the surviving parent denied reasonable visitation rights; (3) A grandparent is unreasonably denied visitation with the child for a period exceeding ninety days; or (4) The child is adopted by a stepparent, another grandparent or other blood relative. 2. The court shall determine if the visitation by the grandparent would be in the child’s best interest or if it would endanger the child’s physical health or impair the child’s emotional development. Visitation may only be ordered when the court finds such visitation to be in the best interests of the child. The court may order reasonable conditions or restrictions on grandparent visitation.””
