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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the amount received was a small portion of the total judgment; (2) the amount accepted has effectively been conceded to be due by a [spouse] who did not appeal; (3) the acceptance of benefits was due to financial distress; (4) the absence of prejudice to the judgment debtor [spouse]; and (5) where the only issue on appeal is whether an award will be increased.”
