    Child support for disabled adult son
    Ive never posted here, but here it goes..

    I have a son with Down Syndrome and he will be turning 18 in April. He should qualify for SSI benefits once he has his 18th birthday. My question is.. does anyone know if my ex-husband is still legally responsible for child support? Although he is legally 18 years old.. he will always depend on me and my current husband for support and he still attends a special needs school and will until he is 21.

    My other question is.. dad lives in Utah and we live in Florida so what state makes that determination.. and would child support affect my sons SSI benefits?

    Thanks so much.. Im sooo confused!

    What does your child support order say? My parents' order said my dad was supposed to pay until we turned 18 OR completed high school, which ever came first.
