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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'the right to a monetary award ... is not an interest in the estate or property of one's spouse,' and therefore is not covered by the language of the agreement.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Since the concept of the monetary award was not introduced in this State until 1978 ... it is understandable that the parties to the antenuptial agreement in the case sub judice did not contemplate a monetary award in 1973. This lack of contemplation of such a concept, however, is the very reason why [Ms. Herget] did not surrender her right to seek a monetary award which did not exist at the time she entered the antenuptial agreement.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Herget v. Herget“`a court, in construing an agreement, must first determine from the language of the agreement itself, what a reasonable person in the position of the parties would have meant at the time it was effectuated.'”
