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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Clhild support is for the benefit of the children, and that the custodial parent stands in the shoes of a trustee who administers the money for the exelusive benefit of the children based upon their needs and welfare. A child's right to adequate support cannot be bargained away by a contract between the parents regardless of the validity of the agreement between the parents themselves.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]e conclude that the right to obtain support is not waived by the custodial parent's inability to act, inaction, or acquiescence to the nonpayment of child support if an action is brought within the statute of limitations.”
