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.
“[A]ppellant’s interest in the marital property would not be altered by appellee’s untimely death. In Pastuszek, [ 346 Pa.Super. 416 , 499 A.2d 1069 (1985) ], this court specifically held that pending ancillary matters, following a divorce decree, survive the death of one of the parties. Therein we stated: Once the [divorce] decree has been entered, the right of the spouse to the distribution of marital property and other economic claims where these matters have been properly put in issue before the death of the spouse, is vested. We do not perceive any conflict between this rule and the provisions of any statute dealing with the estates of decedents. By virtue of equitable distribution of marital property and the disposition of other economic claims, some property may become an asset of the decedent’s estate and shall be treated by the personal representative as any other estate asset.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““While we may be sympathetic to appellant’s plight, the disadvantages that she has alleged are not so overwhelming or of such magnitude that we are compelled to reverse the discretionary decision of the trial court. Appellant has an enforceable support order in place. If appellee is not making the required payments, as alleged, appellant has a remedy which is unrelated to the bifurcation issue. If a significant change in circumstances occurs, such as the loss of medical benefits, appellant can petition for a modified support order.””
