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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A special equity is a vested property interest brought into the marriage or acquired during the marriage because of a contribution of services or funds over and above normal marital duties.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]here a party has separately owned property on which marital funds or labor were expended during the marriage, the value of the property at the time that it was acquired, together with any reasonable proration of the appreciated value that the party may show is attributable to causes other than the parties' contribution of marital funds and labor, is shielded from equitable distribution as a special equity. To the extent, however, that the value of that property was enhanced by marital funds or labor, that enhanced value should be included as a marital asset in the equitable distribution plan. (emphasis supplied)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The circuit court is free to take additional evidence as it and the parties deem appropriate during further proceedings pursuant to this decision.”
