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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Normally, alimony terminates upon the death of the former husband. Although it might have been proper for the chancellor to have required the appellee [ as the father of the minor child ] to maintain this insurance program with the child as the beneficiary [ in this connection see Riley v. Riley, 131 So.2d 491 (Fla.App.1st, 1961) ], he appears to have been in error in requiring that the insurance be maintained with the appellant as the first beneficiary." (Emphasis supplied) 154 So.2d 717, p. 720 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[10] It appears the trial court did project some type of base in making this award of lump sum alimony. However, this court does not have the benefit of the trial court's reasoning. Therefore on the record as it appears before us the lump sum alimony provision must be reversed. [11] It was also error for the trial court to require the husband to maintain life insurance on his life for the benefit of the wife, to provide support for her in the event of and after the husband's death.”
