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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Modification of a maintenance award is only warranted when, due to a substantial and continuing change in circumstances, the terms of the decree have become unreasonable, § 452.370. Here the trial court found such a change, and this finding is not challenged by either party. Having made such a finding the court was then required to balance husband’s ability to pay against wife’s reasonable needs.”
