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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Thus, the support payments are for an obligation of the husband, imposed by law ( not by contract nor by alimony judgment recognizing it and fixing its amount) and which month by month arises during the second community. Therefore, they are properly dischargeable from common funds, Civil Code Article 2403, without any necessity for the husband to account to his second wife from his share of the community assets, after dissolution of the second community for such payments made from community funds.”
