3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“To the extent that income is generated by a dependent spouse's inheritance or by any other asset, that income is crucial to the issue of that spouse's ability to contribute. This is true whether the spouse chooses to actually receive the income or whether, at his or her option, it is plowed back into the inheritance. The issue is not actual receipt of funds but access to them. So long as the spouse has the ability to tap the income source ... whether he or she actually obtains the cash in hand is inconsequential. [ 245 N.J.Super. at 364-65 , 585 A. 2d 956 (emphasis added).]”
