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 White [v. White, 334 So.2d 908 (Ala. Civ.App.1976)], this court held that it was relevant to present as evidence of `changed circumstances' that the amount of child support being paid was not required to meet the needs of the children or that the child support was being used to subsidize the mother's stepchildren. We do not find that White supports the father's assertion that the mother should be required to account for her expenditures of the child support money, particularly in light of the fact that the father was not seeking a reduction in his child support obligation, but a requirement that any excess child support payments be placed in a trust fund to be used for the children's needs."”
