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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To summarize, the filing of a bankruptcy petition stays the determination in a divorce case of the interests of a debtor in property of the estate, any exercise of control over such property, and any monetary claims against a debtor other than for alimony, maintenance or support. Other aspects of a divorce case, such as the dissolution of the marriage, child custody issues, and collection of alimony, maintenance and support from postpetition earnings in a chapter 7 or 11 case, are not stayed.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Klass v. Klass“The filing of a bankruptcy petition is therefore the legal equivalent of a levy by the trustee upon all of the debtor’s property as of the petition date. It follows that equitable distribution cannot alter a bankruptcy estate’s rights in property in which the debtor had an interest on the petition date, whether jointly owned or otherwise.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re DeLauro“Nothing in this section prevents a district court in the interest of justice, or in the interest of comity with State courts or respect for State law, from abstaining from hearing a particular proceeding arising under title 11 or arising in or related to a case under title 11.”
