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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Child support determinations involve questions of law which are subject to the de novo standard of review, findings of fact which are subject to the clearly erroneous standard of review, and may, in some limited areas, be matters of discretion subject to the abuse of discretion standard of review.” Buchholz v. Buchholz, 1999 ND 36, ¶ 11 , 590 N.W.2d 215 . “If the district court fails to comply with the child support guidelines in determining an obligor’s child support obligation, the court errs as a matter of law.” Serr v. Serr, 2008 ND 229, ¶ 10 , 758 N.W.2d 739 (quoting Serr v. Serr, 2008 ND 56, ¶ 18 , 746 N.W.2d 416 ). The interpretation and proper application of a provision of the child support guidelines is a question of law, fully renewable on appeal. [Serr, 2008 ND 229, ¶ 11 , 758 N.W.2d 739 ]. “The failure to properly apply the child support guidelines to the facts involves an error of law.” Korynta v. Korynta, 2006 ND 17, ¶ 18 , 708 N.W.2d 895 (quoting In re N.C.C., 2000 ND 129, ¶ 12 , 612 N.W.2d 561 ).”
