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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under Ohio law, when a married couple files for divorce, the state court with jurisdiction over the parties’ property is required to determine what property constitutes “marital property” and what property constitutes “separate property.” Specifically, Ohio law states that, “[i]n divorce proceedings, the court shall ... determine what constitutes marital property and what constitutes separate property.” Ohio law then defines “marital property,” in relevant part, as “all real or personal property currently owned by either or both of the spouses, including but not limited to retirement benefits, that was acquired by either or both of the spouses during the marriage.” [Ohio Rev.Code] § 3105.171(A)(3)(a).... Examining this statutory framework, and its appurtenant case law, this Court finds that it was the intention under Ohio law to confer upon a spouse an interest in any property that is or would qualify as “marital property,” regardless of whether such property was separately titled.”
