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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]hile we can appreciate the trial court’s difficulty in making an equitable division of this property between [husband] and [wife], it is clear that [wife] and her husband, in addition to paying the balance due on the farm, improved the real property by drilling a well ..., constructing a pole barn and improving the residence by approximately $5,000.... Moreover, [wife] helped on the farm after they took possession, worked as secretary, and conducted a plant business. Thus, [wife] contributed to the partial payment and the improvements upon this farm by her work and industry. Given these facts, we believe the trial court abused its discretion in failing to consider this farm property in making an equitable division.”
