holding that obligor's child support obligation is offset by social security disability benefits paid on behalf of obligor's child
How later courts described this case
- holding that obligor's child support obligation is offset by social security disability benefits paid on behalf of obligor's child
- noting that lien in nature of child support is subject to modification, while divisions of property are final
- stating the trial judge’s interpretation is given “great weight”
- court permits retroactive disability benefits to be credited against child support arrearage but does not address treatment when child support actually has been paid for that period
