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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where, as here, an order of bifurcation is opposed prior to the entrance of the divorce decree, opposition must be expressed in some fashion at the time the court granted bifurcation, and then, after the entrance of the divorce decree, post-trial motions must be filed pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 227.1 stating how the grounds were asserted in the earlier proceeding. . . “Because appellant has failed to file motions in accordance with Rules of Civil Procedure, 227.1 to 227.4 inclusive, following the issuance of the divorce decree, she has not preserved any issues for review.” Mosier v. Mosier, 359 Pa. Super. 187, 195-6 , 518 A.2d 843, 847 (1986).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Bilger v. Bilger““Each case must be reviewed on its own facts and only following the court’s determination that the consequences of bifurcating the case will be of greater benefit than not bifurcating, should it grant the petition. . . “Since the decision to bifurcate is discretionary, we will review lower court decisions pertaining to bifurcation by using an abuse of discretion standard. So long as the trial judge assembles adequate information, thoughtfully studies the information and then explains his decision regarding bifurcation, we defer to his discretion.” Id.”

Upon the request of either party and after a hearing, the court may order alimony pendente lite, reasonable counsel fees, costs and expenses and may make a temporary order necessary to protect the interests of the parties pending final disposition of the matters in subsection (b).”
