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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Provided, however, this act shall not prohibit any court of competent jurisdiction from requiring support for a dependent person beyond the age of 18 years; ..."”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Kartub v. Kartub · Krogen v. Krogen““Nothing contained in Section 2 prohibits support payments to one over 18 years. “Section 3 clearly states that the provisions of this statute were to be construed prospectively and not retrospectively. “It is the view of this Court that the Legislature was most explicit in determining not to disturb previous orders of support. To have done otherwise would have caused court review of innumerable cases, disruption of family budgets, eduction, and other plans. “It is hardly conceivable that husband-petitioner herein could have anticipated the age reduction by the Legislature and intended support only to the reduced age of 18. “Accordingly, the decision of the District Court of Appeal is approved.””
