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

1. “"The distribution of marital assets is traditionally a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court.... The trial court is presumed to have followed the law and considered all appropriate factors in arriving at its decision. The party challenging the trial court's property division must overcome a strong presumption that the court considered and complied with statutory require-fnenfcs. Upon reviewing a claim that a trial court improperly divided marital property, we must decide whether the trial court's decision constitutes an abuse of discretion. An abuse of discretion occurs if the trial court's decision is clearly against the logic and effect of the facts and cireumstances before the court. We neither reweigh the evidence nor judge the credibility of the witnesses. Instead, we only consider the evidence most favorable to the trial court's judgment and the reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom." (citations omitted).”
