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.
“"In Tanana v. Alexander , 404 So.2d 61 (Ala.Civ.App. 1981), this court held that: "`[I]n the context of a custodial parent coming into court seeking a judicial determination of arrearage, . . . alleged past-due and unpaid child support payments are not "final judgments" for purposes of § 6-9-191 until there has been a judicial ascertainment and declaration of the amount past due.' "Therefore, the child support payments which came due in the years 1975-77 did not become `final judgments' until the court below issued its order in January 1988 declaring them to be past due. Thus, the payments are not subject to the presumption of satisfaction found in section 6-9-191."”
