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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our standard of review over an order denying a motion to open or vacate a divorce decree requires us to determine whether an abuse of discretion has been committed. A motion requesting that a divorce decree be opened or vacated lies when the motion alleges the decree suffers from a fatal defect apparent upon the face of the record, was procured by either intrinsic or extrinsic fraud, should be voided in light of newly discovered evidence, or was entered by a court without subject matter jurisdiction.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Venue in divorce actions is determined by Pa.R.C.P. 1920.2, which provides that an action in divorce may be brought in the county in which the plaintiff or the defendant resides. Under venue [rules] applicable to divorce suits but containing no specification of an amount of time as to the plaintiffs residence in a particular county ... it is universally held that the residence need not have been continued for any particular length of time.”
