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.
“"We are of the opinion that this action by a creditor, the ex-wife, for reducing a debt allegedly owed by a debtor, her ex-husband, to an executory money judgment is not an action incidental to the divorce, even though the debt allegedly due is unpaid alimony. It is not a modification of future obligations under a judgment awarding alimony or custody, et cetera, as a mere continuation of the original proceeding and, even in the cases where an alimony modification was sought and the court's continued jurisdiction over the non-resident person was recognized, it was the debtor, the ex-husband, who was attempting to reduce his obligation to the nonresident creditor, the ex-wife. Carpenter v. Carpenter, 240 So.2d 13 (La.App.2nd Cir. 1970); Dupre v. Guillory, 216 So.2d 327 (La. App.3rd Cir. 1968). We find that The Family Court does not have the required personal jurisdiction over the defendant-appellee for the purpose of rendering an executory money judgment against him."”

Unless the nonresident subjects himself personally to the jurisdiction of the court, the judgment may be executed only against the property attached.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The submission of the party to the exercise of jurisdiction over him personally by the court, or his express or implied waiver of objections thereto.”
