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 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[7] . . . [T]he grant or denial of pendente lite allowances of temporary alimony and suit money rests in the sound discretion of the trial court. However, that discretion should not be exercised arbitrarily. [Citations.] The . . . [person] seeking these awards must establish her necessity for them. Such necessity may be proved only by showing that her need for proper support and the expense of the litigation exceed her available resources. This means that the trial judge must be informed in detail not only as to her needs [citation], but also as to her resources. [Citations.] Here the trial court was uninformed of respondent’s total available resources. Manifestly, the court could not exercise a judicial discretion without knowledge of the essential facts.””
