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.
““In the case now before us, both Deanna and Gregory have established new homes with new mates since the divorce was granted. Their life styles have changed. The trial court had an opportunity to observe the parents and their new spouses in the courtroom, to hear and evaluate the testimony, and to weigh the evidence. There were many things of importance which the court considered in addition to the then unmarried status of Deanna and Cooper. The evidence of drug usage and its impact upon the child, Cooper’s prior felony record, attempted denial of visitation privileges, neglect of Alex’s health and clothing needs, lack of discipline, leaving the child unattended, and taking him to a tavern late at night, all support the trial court’s finding that the home was unfit. We find adequate substantial evidence as a basis for the trial court’s order, and we find no abuse of discretion.” 228 Kan. at 292 .”
