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

1. “"There shall be a rebuttable presumption, in any judicial or administrative proceeding for the establishment or modification of child support, that the amount of the award which would result from the application of these guidelines is the correct amount of child support to be awarded. A written finding on the record indicating that the application of the guidelines would be unjust or inappropriate shall be sufficient to rebut the presumption if the finding is based upon: ". . . . "(ii) A determination by the court, based upon evidence presented in court and stating the reasons therefor, that application of the guidelines would be manifestly unjust or inequitable. ". . . . ". . . The court may deviate from the guidelines . . . if evidence of other reasons justifying deviation is presented." 1”

2. “"Although the trial court did not state that the application of the guidelines would be manifestly unjust or inequitable, it did make a finding of fact that it had deviated from Rule 32 because the mother had not paid support while the father had custody. We find that the trial court's finding of fact implicitly satisfies the requirement of Rule 32. However, we agree with the mother that, under the facts of this case, her failure to pay child support would not support a finding that the application of the guidelines would be unjust or inequitable."”
