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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant appeals on 2 points: 1) The Court erred in finding that appellant had failed to support his child in accordance with his ability during a period of one year ending within 6 months of the date of the filing of the petition, for there is no evidence that appellant had any income during such period of time. 2) The Court abused its discretion in finding that it is to the best interest of the minor child to grant the termination for the reason that such finding is against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence.”
