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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[¶ 6] In Smith , we explained: “Section 14-12.2-40, N.D.C.C.E,] outlines the procedure a non-registering party must use to contest the validity of a registered order. A non-registering party seeking to contest the validity ... of a registered order in this state shall request a hearing within twenty days after notice of registration.’ N.D.C.C. § 14-12.2-40(1). If the party fails to contest the validity of the order within the time limit, the order is confirmed by operation of law. N.D.C.C. § 14-12.2-40(2). A contesting party may ‘seek to vacate the registration, to assert any defense to an allegation of noncompliance with the registered order, or to contest the remedies being sought or the amount of any alleged arrearages.’ N.D.C.C. § 14-12.2-40(1). The contesting party has the burden of proving ‘[t]he issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction over the contesting party.’ Ñ.D.C.C. § 14-12.2-41(l)(a). ‘Confirmation of a registered order ... precludes further contest of the order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted at the time of registration.’ N.D.C.C. § 14-12.2-42.””
