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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Bornemann [v. Bornemann , 245 Conn. 508 , 518-20, 752 A.2d 978 (1998) ], our Supreme Court held that nonvested stock options could properly be considered marital property. ... It explained that to be considered marital property, however, the court must first determine whether the stock options were earned during the marriage. Id., at 521-22 , 752 A.2d 978 . That determination is made by considering the purpose of the award, that is, whether the options constitute compensation for past or future services. Id. On the one hand, stock options that are awarded prior to the date of dissolution and awarded solely for past services are considered to be earned during the marriage and are, therefore, considered marital property subject to equitable distribution under § 46b-81.... On the other hand, stock options that are earned prior to the date of dissolution, but that constitute compensation for future services, are not considered to be earned during the marriage and, therefore, are not subject to distribution as marital property under § 46b-81.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Whether the parties made a contribution in the acquisition and preservation of property is a question of fact. ... Accordingly, this court can reverse the trial court's finding that the parties contributed equally to the accumulation and growth of the assets held by the parties as of the date of the dissolution only if it is found to be without any reasonable basis in the evidence.”
