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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““However, by the very language of that section [Utah Code. Ann. § 78-45-7(3) (1995 Supp.)], a trial court need consider these enumerated factors only when there is sufficient evidence to rebut the guidelines set forth in section 78-45-7.14. In the case at bar, since the award of child support was beyond the amount listed in the statutory guidelines, neither party’s proposed award even addressed, much less rebutted, the guidelines. Accordingly, the trial court did not err in declining to address the factors listed in section 78-45-7(3).” 866 P.2d at 545 .”
