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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A petition or cross-petition for a divorcee, legal separation, or annulment must state whether or not the parties have minor children of the marriage. If there are minor children of the marriage, the court: 1. Shall make provision for guardianship, custody, medical care, support and education of the children; 2. Unless not in the best interests of the children, may provide for the visitation of the noncustodial parent with any of the children of the noneustodial parent; and 3. May modify or change any order whenever cireumstances render the change proper either before or after final judgment in the action.... (Emphasis added.)”
