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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"Alabama law requires that interest ... be applied to each installment of past-due child support. T.L.D. v. C.G. , 849 So.2d 200 , 204 (Ala. Civ. App. 2002) (citing Ala. Code 1975, § 8-8-10 ). " '[A] trial court with jurisdiction over proceedings to enforce an earlier child-support judgment is without authority to waive the imposition of statutorily imposed postjudgment interest upon such payments.' " T.L.D. , 849 So.2d at 204 (quoting Walker v. Walker , 828 So.2d 943 , 945 (Ala. Civ. App. 2002) ); see also State ex rel. Pritchett v. Pritchett , 771 So.2d 1048 , 1051 (Ala. Civ. App. 2000). " 'Under Alabama law, child-support payment "installments become final judgments as of the date due." Osborne v. Osborne , 57 Ala. App. 204 , 206, 326 So.2d 766 , 767 (Ala. Civ. App. 1976). Because "judgments for the payment of money bear interest from the date of rendition" "it follows that such [child-support] judgments would bear interest from due date." Osborne , 57 Ala. App. at 206 , 326 So.2d at 767 . Therefore, to properly calculate interest on an arrearage, one would have to compute the interest due on each installment from its due date. Id . ' " Hollen v. Conley , 840 So.2d 921 , 924 (Ala. Civ. App. 2002)."”
