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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our scope of review in child support cases is well settled. We will not dis turb a child support order absent an abuse of discretion, resting upon clear and convincing evidence. An abuse of discretion occurs if insufficient evidence exists to sustain a support award, if the trial court overrides or misapplies existing law, or if the judgment exercised by the trial court is manifestly unreasonable.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[There] is no reason to preclude its [Rule 1910.16-5(c)(l) ] application in cases where it is the first time that a support order is being entered. Such reasoning [that the Rule applies only to extant orders of support] implies that a person who already has a support order cannot voluntarily quit work to obtain a reduction in the support obligation; but, a person anticipating the entry of the initial support order, can willfully obtain a lower paying job to deliberately reduce the obligor’s income without being held to the previous higher earning capacity.... I think a more liberal construction of Rule 1910.16-5(c) is appropriate, and I would not limit its application as the Majority has today.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“Where a party voluntarily assumes a lower paying job, there generally will be no recomputation of the support payment. A party ordinarily will not be relieved of a support obligation by voluntarily quitting work or by being fired for misconduct.”
