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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because Mr. and Mrs. Leighton are married, the payment of the household expenses and support of the children are as much Ann Leighton’s responsibility as Frederick Leigh-ton’s. This is not a situation where the Leightons are divorced and there is a legally cognizable child support obligation. Ann Leighton’s payments for the household expenses and support of the children does not constitute reasonably equivalent value for the transfer of the mutual funds.”
