Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Support for disabled young adult

There is case law going back to (I believe) 1962 that

holds that a parent of a "destitute adult child" has

a continuing obligation to pay for that child and

that such payments can take the form of child

support. So you could very well force your

soon-to-be-ex to continue to support your adult

disabled child. It depends on a lot of factors,

so I would have to know a lot more before I could

tell you for sure whether you could get the

child support.

As for the live-in girlfriend's money, the likely

answer is that, "no" you cannot go after her

income. There are circumstances where that might

not be the case, but not a lot...
