These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 98 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1 later decision quote this exact passage“The court’s order to transfer title in the jointly owned properties is not authorized by Code § 20-107.3. Under the statute’s mandate the court must first identify the marital property and determine its value. Upon consideration of the [statutory] factors ... the court may grant a monetary award to one party. Jointly owned marital property may be partitioned. Code § 20-107.3(C). Once a monetary award has been made, the party against whom it was made may satisfy the award by conveyance of property with the court’s approval. Code § 20-107.3(D).”
