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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In [reviewing] guideline cases, we first look to determine if the court correctly computed the parties’ incomes. We must next determine if the correct guideline amount was selected. Also, in cases where a trial court is asked to consider[ ] a departure from the guidelines based upon the unique needs of either the child or the obligor parent, we must examine the court’s reasons for ordering departure or for refusing to take such action.”
