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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]his court must affirm the trial court’s judgment unless it is not supported by substantial evidence, unless it is against the weight of the evidence, or unless it erroneously declares or applies the law. [Bunch v. Bunch, 746 S.W.2d 634, 635 (Mo.App.1988) ]. The trial court is in the best position to judge the credibility of witnesses. Weir v. Weir, 748 S.W.2d 190, 191 (Mo.App. E.D.1988). Deference is accorded the trial judge even if there is evidence which might support a different conclusion. Hughes v. Hughes, 761 S.W.2d 274, 276 (Mo.App. E.D.1988).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Keller v. Keller“Husband also contends that the trial court erred in failing to order that the modification be retroactive to the date he filed his motion to modify. The retroactivity of a modification of maintenance is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court. Dimmitt v. Dimmitt, 849 S.W.2d 218, 221 (Mo.App.S.D.1993); Beeler v. Beeler, 820 S.W.2d 657, 663 (Mo.App.W.D.1991); Oldfield v. Oldfield, 767 S.W.2d 134, 136 (Mo.App.E.D.1989).”
