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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We will not undertake to divide the settlement into separate and marital parts with only the latter being subject to division. Because the settlement for the personal injury action represents compensation for more than any decreased working capacity, Leisure does not preclude us from affirming the trial court's division.”
