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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““There exists no palpable abuse of trial court discretion when the collective minds of an appellate court are uncertain and waver in balance as to whether the award of alimony and/or the division of property by the trial court was fair and equitable according to the nature of the case after a due consideration of all of the appropriate factors. Here, we are left in that state of uncertainty and it is not now easily perceptible, plain or obvious that the trial court was in error in rendering the latest judgment. Therefore, since we are not authorized to substitute our judgment for that of the trial court, we are required to affirm. There was no palpable abuse of discretion by the trial court.””
