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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it would be inappropriate for an appellate court to tie the hands of a trial court by confining its consideration of income in every case to only that which springs from a forty-hour-week source. A trial court must be able to consider all sources of income that were used by the parties during their marriage to meet their self-defined needs, from whatever source-over time, second job, self-employment, etc., as well as unearned income.”
