Bill > SB2754

This bill amends Mississippi law to allow child support obligations to continue past a child's age of majority (typically 18 or 21) if the child has a physical or mental disability that existed during their minority and prevents them from being self-supporting. To extend support, a court must hold a hearing and ensure the adult child is placed under a conservatorship, which is a legal arrangement where a court appoints someone to manage the affairs of an incapacitated person, or a less restrictive alternative authorized by law. The bill also clarifies legislative intent, stating that courts can consider the child's disability, previous support orders, and eligibility for public benefits when determining continued support.
