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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“-Although we are not insensitive to the generosity of a noncustodial parent, as here, who provides additional support for his children to that expressly ordered by the court, we do not, as a matter of law, give credit for voluntary expenditures. This is particularly true in child support cases in view of the fact that the custodial parent makes arrangements for the child’s care “in reliance on a proper compliance with the decree” by the noncustodial parent.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The decree recited that the “defendant is paying considerably less than the support chart recognizes as equitable based on his net earning capacity.” However, [the chancellor] found that the appellant was not entitled to an increase in child support. Obviously, the chancellor recognized that any reference to “a chart” is only one factor in making his decision.”
