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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Obviously, continuously regular and substantial contributions is a just standard when the wage earner’s income is regular and substantial. But where the income of a wage earner lacks continuity and substantiality and contributions are nevertheless given, a different criterion should be applied. Where a wage earner is poor and earns an irregular income, it is ludicrous to require regular and substantial payments to his children born out of wedlock or not. The wage earner is barely supporting himself. Instead, attention should be focused on whether the contributions that were made to the support of his children were important to whether the contributions that were made to the support of his children were important to them given their needs and the wage earner’s economic circumstances and ability to support.””
