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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Each party shall have the right to name any person or organization they choose as beneficiary of their life insurance policies. Each party waives any interest they have in the other party’s life insurance proceeds, cash value, or otherwise. The parties agree to waive and release any rights or claims they may now have to any retirement pay, benefits, or privileges earned by the other during the marriage. The Wife hereby waives all rights to claim any interest or share in the Husband’s [individual Retirement Accounts, which shall become his sole property.
