MS SB2202

Child support for a child with a physical or mental disability that existed during minority is presumed to continue past the age of majority (21 years) if the disability prevents the child from living independently

Courts may order continued support, modify custody and visitation arrangements, and address medical expenses and other welfare matters for adult children with disabilities

The presumption of continued support can be rebutted with evidence that the adult child is capable of self-support

Support continuation does not apply if the disabled adult child is a long-term patient in a facility owned or operated by the State of Mississippi

Courts must consider the adult child's receipt of and eligibility for public benefits and community services when determining support awards
