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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The child] is the real party in interest in this proceeding. To permit defendant to repudiate his intent to support the child and no longer stand in loco parentis to him would cause irreparable harm to the boy. He would be without familial roots, without a known heritage. Equitable estoppel must be applied in this instance to prevent that result. [ 97 N.J. at 164 ]”

1 later decision quote this exact passage“that for the first 12 years of his life this child was brought up as the son of the parties hereto ... [who both] accepted ... responsibility ... [for him and] prevented [him] from being raised by any other individuals through their action.”
