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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Karon , we recognized that section 518.64 allows a court to modify a maintenance award upon petition of a party. We concluded, however, that when a district court incorporates into its dissolution order a stipulation by the parties as to maintenance, the order is a final decree with a preclusive effect. Thus, if the court’s final decree includes such an express waiver precluding the right to any further maintenance, the court is divested of its jurisdiction over the maintenance issue because any later attempts to modify spousal maintenance are barred by issue preclusion.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“1) the stipulation must include a contractual waiver of the parties’ rights to modify maintenance; 2) the stipulation must expressly divest the district court of jurisdiction over maintenance, Loo, 520 N.W.2d at 745-46 ; 3) the stipulation must be incorporated into the final judgment and decree; and 4) the court must make “specific findings that the stipulation is fair and equitable, is supported by consideration described in the findings, and that full disclosure of each party’s financial circumstances has occurred,” Minn.Stat. § 518.552, subd. 5.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The parties may expressly preclude or limit modification of maintenance through a stipulation, if the court makes specific findings that the stipulation is fair and equitable, is supported by consideration described in the findings, and that full disclosure of each party’s financial circumstances has occurred. The stipulation must be made a part' of the judgment and decree.”
