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.

1. “1. Protection order; consent agreement. The court, after a hearing and upon finding that the defendant has committed the alleged abuse ..., may grant a protective order.... 2. Duration. A protective order or approved consent agreement is for a fixed period not to exceed 2 years. At the expiration of that time, the court may extend an order, upon motion of the plaintiff, for such additional time as it determines necessary to protect the plaintiff or minor child from abuse.... Upon motion by either party, for sufficient cause, the court may modify the order or agreement from time to time as circumstances require.”
