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.
““In Cohen v. Cohen, 150 Cal. 99 -104, 88 P. 267, 270 , 11 Ann.Cas. 520, the California court made a very clear statement of what would seem to be the better rule : “ ‘We believe that the cases wherein the alimony should be continued after the remarriage are extremely rare and exceptional * * *. Good public policy would not compel a divorced husband to support his former wife after she has become another man’s wife, except under extraordinary conditions, which she should be required to prove. Unless . such conditions are shown by her to exist, the court should, on the former husband’s motion, cancel all payments accruing after the remarriage * *.’ ””
