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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The defendant argues in effect that the order in question simply confirms what the defendant is permitted to do under General Statutes § 45-104(b) [comparable to 20 Pa.C.S. § 5305(b)], which is part of the UGMA. This argument misses the mark. The purpose of General Statutes § 45-104(b) is to insulate the custodian from claims, by the minor or third parties dealing with the custodian, of improper management or unauthorized dis bursements. Its purpose is not to control the exercise of the court’s discretion in a marital dissolution case; nor is its purpose, in such a case, to discharge the parent’s primary duty of support. It must be read together with the statutory and common law provisions regarding that duty.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The effect of the court’s order here was to permit the defendant to discharge from the custodial funds those other obligations which the court imposed on him. It may be that upon a rehearing the court will impose the same obligations without the access to those funds; but on this record we cannot be certain of that. It is appropriate, therefore, that the rehearing which we order embrace those obligations as well.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[u]pon or subsequent to the . . . dissolution of any marriage . . ., the parents of a minor child of the marriage, shall maintain the child according to their respective abilities, in the child is in need of maintenance.”
