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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a)A court of this state shall treat a foreign country as if it were a state of the United States for the purpose of applying this article [§§ 30-3B-101 through 30-3B-112] and Article 2 [§§ 30-3B-201 through 3-3B-210], (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a child custody determination made in a foreign country under factual circumstances in substantial conformity with the jurisdictional standards of this chapter [i.e., the UCCJEA] must be recognized and enforced under Article 3 [§§ 30-3B-301 through 30-3B-114], (c) A court of this state need not apply this chapter if the child custody law of a foreign country violates fundamental principles of human rights.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he mother was operating on the assumption that the UCCJEA appbes only to states of the United States. Indeed, the word “state” is defined in § 30-3B-102(15) as “[a] state of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, or any territory or insular possession subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” However, § 30-3B-105 10 governs the international application of the UCCJEA.”
