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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Garnishment is an exclusive statutory remedy, unknown to the common law, and we are unable to see how one seeking its advantages to effect the payment of allotments made in a final decree of divorce under Section 65.13, supra, could proceed without reference to any other statutory provision. * * * * * * We are familiar with the case of Reynolds v. Reynolds, 113 Fla. 361 , 152 So. 200, 202 , where the court considered proceedings in garnishment to enforce the payment of installments of alimony, but we do not find that the point presented here was determined there. On the contrary, the court said: `Whether that statute [65.13, supra] is confined in its operation to public officers against whom writs of garnishment may be issued to enforce orders for suit money or alimony is the question to which the inquiry in this case is limited.' It was held that the statute was not confined to persons of that class. The decision is authority then for the position of the appellant here that Section 65.13, supra, made garnishment available to her for the enforcement of the orders for suit money and alimony. Having decided to resort to that method to collect the money she claimed appellee owed her, it was necessary that she comply with the requirements of Chapter 77 if she expected the remedy to be effectual." (Emphasis added.) 18 So.2d at 31 .”
