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.
“The party seeking fees must prove with evidence the reasonableness and necessity of the fee sought. Despite the very broad discretion granted to the court in awarding temporary support, we have consistently required that an award of temporary attorney’s fees be accompanied by factual findings regarding reasonableness of the hourly rates and time expended. Because the order in this case lacks the requisite findings, we reverse that portion of the order awarding a specific amount of attorney’s fees and remand for further proceedings regarding reasonableness.”
