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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(2) The marital home became a tenancy in common upon entry of the Judgment dissolving the marriage. Tenants in common have a mutual obligation to pay the charges upon the property. Mintz vs. Ellison, 233 So.2d 156 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1970). The equity of one of the parties should not be increased by any expenditures made by the other party. Maroun vs. Maroun, 277 So.3d 572 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1973) The Judgment before us violates both of these principles. The judgment should provide that payments on the mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair shall be paid equally by the parties. (Emphasis supplied).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"[f]or children of tender age, ... the dissolution of the marriage between their parents is an unsettling experience. To require them to move from their home within one year of the traumatic dissolution of marriage can only add to the children's feeling of insecurity and frustration." Singer v. Singer, 342 So.2d 861, 862 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977).”
