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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The division of property in an equitable distribution is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court." When reviewing an equitable distribution order, the standard of review "is limited to a determination of whether there was a clear abuse of discretion." "A trial court may be reversed for abuse of discretion only upon a showing that its actions are manifestly unsupported by reason."”
