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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Donald’s primary, paramount obligation is the support of his four children. Instead of doing everything in his power to maintain his employment, Donald’s deliberate, violent acts led to his firing. His firing was neither fortuitous nor beyond his control. Now he seeks to hoist the significant economic ramifications of that on his four children. This cannot be condoned. His actions were voluntary. There was no abuse of discretion in deviating from the child support schedule by using his former income to calculate his current child support obligation.”

[the] resulting termination of [a father who struck his coworker-girlfriend at their place of employment] cannot be considered voluntary because he did not provoke termination for the express purpose of avoiding child support”
