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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I. Whether a prayer for equitable distribution alone, without reference to alimony, may support an award of lump sum alimony for the purpose of equitable distribution of the property of the parties? II. If so, whether both parties must pray for equitable distribution or whether a prayer for equitable distribution by one party is sufficient to support an award of lump sum alimony to either party for the purpose of the equitable distribution of the property of the parties?”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A judge may award lump sum alimony to ensure an equitable distribution of property acquired during the marriage, provided the evidence reflects (1) a justification for such lump sum payment and (2) financial ability of the other spouse to make such payment without substantially endangering his or her economic status.”
