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.
“There clearly is a present need on Mr. Harrell’s son’s behalf for the receipt of support while attending school. Furthermore, this Court finds that there was a need for child support at the time the debtor and Mrs. Sharp entered into their separation agreement. Accordingly, the arrearage of child support which Mr. Harrell owed at the time of the filing of his voluntary petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby declared to be nondischargeable.”
