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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“| iqA. When a spouse has not been at fault and is in need of support, based on the needs of that party and the ability of the other party to pay, that spouse may be awarded final periodic support in accordance with Paragraph B of this Article. B. The court shall consider all relevant factors in determining the amount and duration of final support. Those factors may include: 1) The income and means of the parties, including the liquidity of such means. 2) The financial obligations of the parties. 3) The earning capacity of the parties. 4) The effect of custody of children upon a party’s earning capacity. 5) The time necessary for the claimant to acquire appropriate education, training, or employment. 6) The health and age of the parties. 7) The duration of the marriage. 8) The tax consequences to either or both parties. C. The sum awarded under this Article shall not exceed one-third of the obligor’s net income.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“First, we must determine whether the trial judge correctly applied the proper legal standard or standards. We do not defer to the discretion or judgment of the trial judge on issues of law. Second, we must examine the trial judge’s findings of fact. We will not overturn the trial judge’s factual determinations unless, in light of the record taken as a whole, they are manifestly erroneous (or clearly wrong). Third, we must examine the propriety of the alimony award. If it is within legal limits and based on facts supported by the record, we will not alter the amount of the award in the absence of an abuse of the trial judge’s great discretion to set such awards.”
