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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We do not agree that, under the circumstances of the instant case, this failure [to submit a Form 14] is determinative of this appeal. Here, [mother's] challenge to the child support award is not on the basis that it fails to, but should, conform to the child support guidelines calculated pursuant to Civil Procedure Form No. 14 and presumed correct by Rule 88.01. Rather, her complaint is that [father] failed to satisfy his burden to show a substantial and continuing change of circumstances so as to authorize the modification. Therefore, the instant case is distinguishable from Ibrahim , and the issue here is not controlled by it.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Rule 88.01, formulated in 1989 at the behest of § 452.340.7, RSMo Supp.1989, requires both parties to complete Form 14, which is a worksheet for calculating the "presumed child support amount." The completed forms are to be made part of the record. Here no form or forms were included in the legal file. An appellant seeking relief from a child support award without including these completed forms is doing so at his or her peril. See Ibrahim v. Ibrahim, 825 S.W.2d 391 (Mo.App. S.D.1992).”
