The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “In Adkins , the trial court found that the defendant had the present means to comply with a court order and purge himself of a finding of contempt. On appeal, this Court reviewed the record evidence and held that the unspecific finding of a present means to comply was sufficient in light of competent evidence presented in support of the findings . Similarly, in the present action, though the trial court's finding as to Plaintiff's ability [to comply] with the contempt order is unspecific, there was competent evidence in the record to support the trial court's finding of fact. Accordingly, Plaintiff's argument on appeal is without merit.”
