Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Cherry v. Cherry remains good law after all 65 flagged citations were read. It held that an unequal division of marital property is not, by itself, an abuse of discretion: the division must be equitable under the circumstances, and equitable need not mean equal.
More on how this was screened

Later Ohio opinions continue to apply its property division rule and standard of review; none adversely treated Cherry.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

65 later cases cite Cherry v. Cherry; 65 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
