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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[wjhen the court awards less alimony after divorce than was awarded pendente lite, it is not just “adjusting” a prior alimony award but is, instead, making a new award based on completely different considerations. Under Civil Code article 160, permanent alimony is in the nature of a pension. Alimony pendente lite, however, in article 148, is based on the husband’s obligation to support his wife during marriage. Vanier v. Vanier, 344 So.2d 1077 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1977).”
