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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““So it is in this case that the public policy of this State imposes a duty upon a father to support his child that cannot be bargained away. The agreement' between the plaintiff and the defendant to suspend support payments for failure of the wife to afford visitation in the summer of 1975, even though incorporated in an order of court, does not and cannot either transcend or suspend the legally imposed obligation to support minor children.” (Huckaby v. Huckaby (1979), 75 Ill. App. 3d 195, 199 , 393 N.E.2d 1256, 1260 .)”
