FL H0965

Creates s. 61.1255, F.S., defining "incapacitated adult child" as an unmarried adult incapable of self-support due to physical or mental incapacity that began before age 18, and establishes parental responsibility for support

Allows suits to establish support for incapacitated adult children to be filed at any time after age 17 years and 6 months; requires support payments after age 18 to be paid only to a court-appointed guardian

Establishes new factors courts must consider when determining support amount, including the adult child's income/assets, existing needs related to incapacity, parental financial resources, and available programs/benefits

Prohibits courts from ordering support amounts that would negatively impact the incapacitated adult child's eligibility for state or federal programs and benefits

Authorizes guardians and guardian advocates to petition for support payments; requires Department of Revenue to enforce support orders in the same manner as child support orders under Chapter 61
