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

There shall be a rebuttable presumption that any deviation of less than fifteen per cent or more from the child support guidelines is substantial. . . .”
