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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The chancellor found the appellee was entitled to one-half of the law firm assets. The appellee’s right to the law firm assets is not contested, only decisions by the chancellor concerning specific assets. The appellant questions the chancellor’s finding that the accounts receivable and “work in progress” were marital property under Arkansas’ new marital property law. Ark. Stat. Ann. § 34-1214(B) (Supp. 1985). He argues that under Potter v. Potter, 280 Ark. 38 , 655 S.W.2d 382 (1983), the law firm’s accounts receivable are not marital property. In Potter we did say that accounts receivable might not be marital property unless there was evidence of fraud or intent to delay receipt of the property in order to exclude it from consideration in a divorce proceeding. In Day v. Day, 281 Ark. 261 , 663 S.W.2d 719 (1984),we considered our prior decisions and stated: We now realize that we have inadvertently failed to recognize the new concept of ‘marital property,’ created by Act 705 of 1979, as amended. That statute defines marital property as all property acquired by either spouse subsequent to the marriage, . . . We were wrong in Potter to qualify the treatment of accounts receivable as marital property. The general rule is that accounts receivable are marital property.”
