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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Accrued child support is a property right of the party in whose favor it is granted. In computing the amount due under a judgment of support, the father is not entitled to a credit for the time the children resided with him absent a modification of the judgment which made the award. Stated another way, credits based on equitable considerations cannot be applied retroactively against the vested property right of accrued child support and can only be considered prospectively if the child support judgment is amended or altered by a subsequent judgment.”
