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 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A flat rule to determine value cannot be established as equity depends on the totality of the circumstances. However, the court does have broad discretion to develop some measure of value. The trial court is not privileged to omit valuation altogether. A party's failure to put on any evidence does not permit assigning an unknown as value. The court itself should instruct the parties to submit evidence on the matter.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“*** the trial court erred by not placing a value on Mr. Mochko's pension benefits based on probable eligible dates of commencement for such benefits. *** As there is a lack of any evidence establishing the value placed on these pension benefits, we are hampered in our efforts to review the propriety of the court's division of that property.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The trial court did not abuse its discretion ... when it is considered that the husband's concealment of assets may be taken into account in determining the property division.”
