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.

1. “11 Under the terms of Section 118, income received by Mother for crops or rental should have been included in her gross income for purposes of child support computation. Mother asserts on appeal that tax returns filed by the parties prior to the divorce show that the farm house rental and the crops resulted in losses for tax purposes. Mother points to six income tax returns that show a farm income loss and four tax returns that show a rental income loss. 112 Although previous tax returns indicate a loss for both the crop sales and the rental property, the presentation of the tax returns alone cannot end our inquiry into Mother's gross income. "Taxable income on an income tax return does not control 'income' for child support purposes.”
