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.
“Tennessee has adopted the minority rule that in cases of annulment, divorce or separate maintenance a decree for the support of a minor child, even as to past due and unpaid installments, may be modified by the court at any subsequent term... . This rule is based on the language of T.C.A. [§§ 36-5-101, 36-6-101, and 36-6-102].”

[§ 36-2-111]. From this authority the Trial Judge as a matter of discretion has the power to grant retroactive relief of delinquent child support.”
