3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“"A divorce action and, for example, a tort or contract action, obviously are not interchangeable alternatives. The higher cost for a divorce, as opposed to other civil actions, would hardly encourage those seeking a divorce to abandon their efforts in favor of other, less expensive forms of litigation. The level of the fee charged for, say, a tort action, therefore, is irrelevant to the presence of any burden on the right to obtain a divorce." Murillo v. Bambrick, supra, 681 F.2d at 905 (footnote omitted).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“The denial of access to the judicial forum in Boddie touched directly ... on the marital relationship and on the associational interests that surround the establishment and dissolution of that relationship. On many occasions we have recognized the fundamental importance of these interests under our Constitution. [Citations omitted.] The Boddie appellants’ inability to dissolve their marriages seriously impaired their freedom to pursue other protected associational activities.”
