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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the Davis case, the defendant husband was making child support payments under a URESA order, and there was an executo-ry judgment against him for arrearages of child support. The wife had instituted garnishment proceedings against him to enforce collection of the latter judgment. Our holding in that case was to the effect that the provisions of R.S. 13:3829[sic], which gives priority to child support payments over judgments of garnishment, do not apply to executory judgments for arrearages of child support. It was not intended by the above quoted language to intimate that the character of child support payments is changed from an obligation or duty to a debt simply because they have been reduced to an executory judgment in order to facilitate collection thereof. Neither do we believe that child support payments can be deprived of their status as an obligation or duty because they arose and were reduced to an executory judgment prior to the remarriage of the husband and the establishment of the community.”
