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.

2. “"Once the appellant presented evidence of a change in circumstances, he had established a prima facie case for entitlement to a reduction in his support obligations. The burden then shifted to the appellee to refute that entitlement with proof that the change in circumstances was caused by the appellant's own voluntary actions. Since she failed to meet that burden, the trial court should have permanently reduced the appellant's child support obligation."”
