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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““This statute mandates the trial judge to assign each spouse’s property to him. Like other issues of fact, the interests of James and Iva were proper for inquiry and adjudication. The decree of dissolution of marriage, including the assignment of property, like other civil judgments became final ten days after its decree. CR 59.02 and 59.04. Thus, unlike KRS 403.060 and 403.065, it does not leave open for subsequent inquiry the rights of either or both that have not been adjudicated upon the final determination of the controversy. The insurance policy, with Iva as the named beneficiary, existed at the time their marriage was dissolved and the decree entered. It also was the proper subject of inquiry and adjudication. Any interest that either James or Iva may have had in or to any property, estate or interest of the other, which remained undisposed of by the trial judge, is in the posture as if the court had so adjudged their respective interests.””
