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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The issue of whether an attorney’s fee should be awarded to one party in a divorce action is a question within the discretion of the chancellor. If based upon the appropriate standard, this decision will not be reversed upon appeal unless it is found to be manifestly erroneous. However, the chancellor’s discretion is not without limits. “Attorneys’ fees should not be awarded unless the chancellor finds that the party requesting attorney fees can establish an inability to pay.””
