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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or a modification of a divorce judgment, a trial court may award sums of money out of the property and income of either or both parents for the post-minority education of a child of that dissolved marriage, when application is made therefor, as in the case at issue, before the child attains the age of majority."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Barnes v. Barnes · Miller v. Miller““Because the mother’s application for an award of college expenses was not made before [the child] attained the age of majority, the trial court no longer had jurisdiction to enter support or custody orders regarding [the child]. In other words, it was no longer within the trial court’s discretion to award any support for [the child’s] post-secondary education.””
