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.
““A divorce decree to which no appeal is taken finally and forever terminates all rights and obligations of one spouse to the other except as the decree specifically defines a residual of those rights and obligations. A residual in the form of alimony is subject to modification pursuant to RCW 26.08.110, but if there is no modification during the term of the alimony award and no appeal to the failure to modify, the obligation is forever extinguished when met in full.” 507 P.2d at 158-59 .”
