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.
““[T]he former wife insists that she has not improperly attempted to reopen the property-division aspects of the divorce judgment but that she is instead asserting a right to a claimed marital share of the equity that had accrued in the equity account during the parties’ marriage (i.e., from 1988-1993). She points out that the divorce judgment was silent as to that marital asset, and she claims that, therefore, her interest in that asset is the same as it was during the marriage. See Ex parte Davis, 495 So.2d [672] at 673 [ (Ala.1986) ], and McGuire [v. Horton ], 586 So.2d [9] at 9 [ (Ala.Civ.App.1991) ].””
