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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The fact that appellant subsequently remarried and has another child, or possibly two children, does not, of itself, relieve him of the obligation fixed by the original decree. In such cases, the court will make such adjustment as the necessities of the parties demand and the ability of the husband permits, [citing cases].””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Whether the six-year limitation applies, as appears to have been assumed or conceded in Phillips v. Phillips, 165 Wash. 616 , 6 P. (2d) 61 , it is unnecessary to determine in this case, because the order of the court did not relate to any installment maturing prior to the six-year period.””
