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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he trial court found that [the wife] did not take any part in the procurement of the Mexican divorce, and there was nothing in the record to indicate that even if she knew of the divorce, that she had any reason to know that it was not effective. The parties in the instant case were married approximately 20 years, with no allegation of the marriage being void until a claim was made for alimony and property by the wife in the dissolution proceeding. The trial court’s determination that [the husband] should be estopped from raising this defense was proper and, thus, affirmed. See also Seoane v. Seoane, 514 So.2d 430 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987); Arnold v. Arnold, 500 So.2d 739 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Farnham v. Farnham“Marital assets are those assets acquired by the parties during the marriage which are created or produced by their work efforts, services or earnings. The increased value of assets solely owned by one spouse prior to the marriage should be considered marital assets subject to equitable distribution to the extent their increased value was the result of either or both spouses' work efforts, or the expenditure of marital funds or earnings of the parties.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The problem with the award of the Mercedes is that it was owned by a corporation in which the appellant owned 87% of the stock, not by the appellant himself. This corporation was not joined as a party and, thus, the trial court had no power to transfer this corporate asset.”
