Helen Crespo v. Jimmy Crespo

07-27-07 A-4359-05T1

The question presented is whether a supporting parent's
payments against child support arrears should be suspended where the parent is disabled and his or her only income is SSI benefits. Following Burns v. Edwards, 367 N.J. Super. 29 (App. Div. 2004), we held that the parent's payments against arrears
are to be suspended until such time as the parent has the ability to pay the arrears from income or assets, actual or
imputed, other than SSI.
