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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We said in Cullinan v. Cullinan, 226 N.W.2d 33, 35 (Iowa 1975), ‘[e]ach installment is in itself a judgment as it becomes due_’ The statute [of limitations] apparently runs from, the time each [child support] installment falls due. See Bennett v. Tomlinson, 206 Iowa 1075, 1079 , 221 N.W. 837, 840 (1928); Annot., Alimony or Support Order — Action—Time, 70 A.L.R.2d 1250 , § 4(b), pp. 1258-1262 (1960).””
