Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The authority’s decision to stop maintenance advances was upheld because the debtor had left for a foreign country without providing an address, making continued payment impossible under the applicable advance-payment rule.

Omnilex headnote

LARPA art. 8a; maintenance advances may be terminated where the debtor has left the country and is no longer reachable at a valid address. The authority is not required to continue advances in the absence of a contactable address, since the statutory purpose of interim support presupposes enforceable and administrable recovery conditions (consid. unspecified).
