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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Counsel for appellee, in brief, states that the primary obligation of the father is to support, maintain and educate his children from his first marriage, and, although he has a right to remarry, he may not be allowed to assert the second marriage as a basis for relief of the obligation he owes his children of his first marriage. Laiche v. Laiche, 237 La. 298 , 111 So.2d 120 . This is a correct statement of law. Nevertheless, the necessary living expenses of a remarried father may be taken into consideration as one of the items in fixing alimony to a child or children born of the first marriage. Harris v. Harris (La.App., 3 Cir., 1961), 127 So.2d 747 ."”
