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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The obligation of [a] father is to support the minor children by making payments to the mother, and it is only by so complying that he fulfills his obligation. Rodriquez v. Rodriquez, 245 So.2d 765 (La. App. 4 Cir. 1971). The judgment for child support, as to the amount past due, is the property of the party in whose favor it was given. Coleman v. Coleman, 209 So.2d 801 (La.App. 2 Cir. 1968)." * * * * * * "The only remedy available to a father to relieve himself of the obligation of paying child support imposed by a judgment is by proceeding to have the judgment amended, suspended or terminated. Sampognaro v. Sampognaro, 222 La. 597 , 63 So.2d 11 (1953); Rodriquez v. Rodriquez, 245 So.2d 765 (La.App. 4 Cir. 1971); Hebert v. Hebert, 159 So.2d 537 (La.App. 3 Cir. 1964). Courts cannot consider equity for the purpose of nullifying or reducing accumulated alimony, which is a vested property right, until the judgment is altered or amended by subsequent judgment or is terminated by operation of law. LSA-C.C.P. art. 3945; Pisciotto v. Crucia, 224 La. 862 , 71 So.2d 226 (1954); Elchinger v. Elchinger, 181 So.2d 297 (La. App. 4 Cir. 1965)."”
