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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . the parties should follow the criteria set out in In re Marriage of Powers, . . . [ 527 S.W.2d 949 (Mo.App.1975)] (in which a husband’s interest in a pension fund was considered marital property) and Robbins v. Robbins, 468 S.W.2d 876 (Mo.1971), (in which the husband’s right to his employer’s contribution to the pension plan was found to be too contingent to be considered by the trial court in making an award of maintenance).””
