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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rationale for including attorney’s fees and suit money within the term ‘alimony’ has been stated by the Missouri Court of Appeals as ‘being alimony in the sense that it is allowed for the purpose of defraying the ordinary and necessary expenses of the wife in respect to her prosecution or defense of the action of divorce.’ Knebel v. Knebel, 189 S.W.2d 464 , 466 (Mo.Ct.App.1945). This rationale would, of course, apply to any action which is incident to the original divorce.””
