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.

“If a property settlement's provisions directing and governing the property's sale are ambiguous, then a judgment clarifying such matters is not a modification of the agreement.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"It is well settled that where there is uncertainty and ambiguity in a contract, it is the duty of the court to construe the contract so as to express the intent of the parties. . . . Also, since it is presumed that parties intend to make reasonable contracts, courts will give ambiguous contracts a reasonable construction to avoid unconscionable results. . . . And once it appears that a contract is ambiguous, the court will construe it more strongly against the party who prepared it. . . ."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the divorce judgment, although final for purposes of appeal, is also interlocutory in nature insofar as implementing the provisions of the agreement relating to a final disposition of the parties' property.”
