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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant's wish to intervene in the deprived child hearing is based on her interest in the ultimate custody of the child. While custody of the child will eventually require determination, that is not the direct issue in a deprived child hearing. [The appellant] is not the parent whose rights to her child are in question. She is not the object of the court's action and, therefore should not be permitted to intervene. . . . [Appellant] did not have a substantial interest in the severance of [the mother's] parental rights. Although she cared for the child, she is more concerned with eventual custody. Intervention by [the appellant] as a party in the severance hearing would not have aided [the appellant] because she was not the object of the petition to sever. We hold the trial court did not err in denying [the appellant's] request to intervene.”

A motion to intervene must be properly served on the party pursuant to K.S.A. 60-205, accompanied by a pleading setting forth ‘the claim or defense for which intervention is sought.’ K.S.A. 60-224(c)(l). “The request to intervene was made orally the day of the severance hearing. A motion was not served on the party as provided for in K.S.A. 60-205; there was no timely application.” 230 Kan. at 55-56 .”
