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.
““Again, some of the decisions rely on, or at least refer to, a supposed intention of legislatures to permanently divide the property of divorced persons, presumably so as to avoid further disputes between them. Such references may be found in Leutgers v. Kasten [ 295 Minn. 545 , 204 N.W.2d 210 (1973)]; Snyder v. Snyder, supra; and Carson v. Ellis [ 186 Kan. 112 , 348 P.2d 807 (I960)]. We find no such indication of legislative intention in this State. Our Legislature gives the courts the power to “ ‘. . . make such equitable distribution of the real and personal property of the parties as may seem just and proper, . . .’ Sec. 14-05-24, N.D.C.C. “We discern no hint of a direction that we should not allow divorced couples to continue to hold property jointly if it seems proper to them or equitable to the court for them to do so.” Renz, 256 N.W.2d at 885-86 .”
