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.
“[The supporting spouse] has substantial income, [the supported spouse] has little or no income. Under these circumstances we believe shifting tax liability from the supporting spouse to the supported spouse which permits the supported spouse to net tangibly more child support and alimony because of the decrease in the supporting spouse’s tax burden is good cause for non-allocation of child support and alimony.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Beinor v. Beinor · Brown v. Brown“In the event the court shall award the custody of the children to the spouse receiving alimony the court shall, by its decree, unless good cause to the contrary be shown , allocate any award for permanent alimony and support between the supported spouse and the children ... (emphasis added).”
