"in re Marriage"

I'm reafing this provision in this legal divorce agreement whereby it states"
All claims for reimbursement as the result of any payment of community obligation since separation shall be waived"
And then immediately right afterward it states"In re Marriage of Epstein(1979), 24 Cal. App. 3d 76; 154 Cal. Rptr.413, and its Progeny."

What I don't understand is why it quoted a previously settled case (http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/re-marriage-epstein-30539) and why it is necessary to quote it right here.

Thank you.

diAAnaPThen why isn't there an "e.g."/"for instance" before the sentence?
It's not an example.
diAAnaPAlso why is it necessary?
That is a legal decision, not a language decision.

You just said that it was used as a legal PRECEDENT for the case, Micawber ;D
Do I have to quote my source?
