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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability, the party seeking alimony cannot reasonably be expected to make substantial progress toward becoming self-supporting; or (2) even after the party seeking alimony will have made as much progress toward becoming self-supporting as can reasonably be expected, the respective standards of living of the parties will be unconscionably disparate.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““There is no bright line for determining the propriety of an alimony award.... ” Id. at 266 , 704 A.2d 532 (citation omitted). Rather, each case depends upon its own circumstances “ ‘to ensure that equity be accomplished.’ ” Id. (quoting Alston v. Alston, 331 Md. 496, 507 , 629 A.2d 70 (1993)).”
