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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The instant matter does not involve the potential for the termination of . . . parental rights concerning the minor child of the marriage, i.e. a situation where this Court has generally indicated a right to counsel for indigent parents exists. We do not believe [the parent in question] has a constitutionally protected right to counsel in this divorce case merely because it involves property issues and issues concerning custody/visitation with a minor child. See Haller v. Haller , 168 Mich. App. 198 , 423 N.W.2d 617 (1988) (no due process right to counsel in divorce case merely because issues therein concern custody of minor child).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“We, therefore, can see no harmful error in upholding the trial court's granting of a divorcee based on the counterclaim as it concerns the parties' status and the dissolution of the marriage.”
