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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[I]n making that decision, [the court] should give weight to the relative financial resources of the parties, the need of either party for occupancy of the home, and the duration of the exclusive possession. For example, the court's decision might well be affected, among other things, by the cost of maintaining the home in comparison to the benefits received, the financial hardship suffered by either party by the refusal to authorize a sale of the property, the presence or absence of children to enjoy the use of the home, or the size and expansiveness of the home in relation to the expected use."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In the usual case, the question of the sale of the marital home or other property of the spouses should be decided at the time of the making of the judgment. At that point in the marital career of the parties all questions at issue are better resolved, so that disputes and irritants do not linger and present further incentives for litigation. . . . . In most cases the parting of ways should be accompanied with clearly stated obligations for the future, put in monetary terms so far as possible. 38 A.D.2d at 70 , 327 N.Y.S.2d at 470 .”
