Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division · 1981
New Jersey Div. of Youth & Family Services v. C. M., 436 A.2d 1158 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 1981)
The court considered housing conditions as one part of a cumulative, substantial neglect analysis tied to multiple caregiving failures and functional impairment. It expressly distinguished poverty-related substandard housing, which by itself does not establish abuse or neglect.
Some later courts have distinguished or questioned it — read before relying.
