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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The dispositive issue is whether the trial court erred in modifying the amount of monthly child support and arrearage payments where no petition for modification was filed and there was no oral request for modification. This court has held that, where modification was not sought by written or oral petition or request and the issue was not tried expressly or impliedly with the consent of the parties, fair play and due process dictate a reversal. Parnell v. Parnell, 500 So.2d 1137 (Ala. Civ. App. 1986); Price v. Price, 442 So.2d 121 (Ala. Civ. App. 1983).””
