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.
“The [chancellor] did not assign [the wife] one-half of her husband’s military retirement. If the [chancellor] had awarded [her] one-half of the entitlement as authorized by the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act, 10 U.S.C. § 1408 , such award could, unless specifically defined, be construed as part of the parties’ property settlement, not subject to modification. The chancellor avoided this consequence’ and left an important open avenue for modification in the event conditions change necessitating reconsideration of the award.”
