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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The guideline amount is presumptively correct. See § 61.30, Fla.Stat. (1997); State, Dept. of Revenue By and On Behalf of Young v. Sumblin, 675 So.2d 691 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996).... Section 61.30(l)(a), Florida Statutes states that “[t]he trier of fact may order payment of child support in an amount which varies more than 5 percent from such guideline amount only upon a written finding, or a specific finding on the record, explaining why ordering payment of such guideline amount would be unjust or inappropriate.” See State, Dept. of Revenue By and On Behalf of Bunting v. Cain, 675 So.2d 679 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996); Stewmon v. Stewmon, 654 So.2d 259 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995). In its order, the court stated that the deviation from the statutory guidelines is “based on the fact that the appellee’s salary is currently at the minimum wage.” However, a party’s earnings are already taken into consideration when calculating the guideline child support obligation of the party. See § 61.30, Fla.Stat. (1997). Consequently, the fact that the appellee’s salary is currently at the minimum wage cannot be used as a reason to deviate from the guideline amount.”
