A man’s child was emancipated when he turned 19 years old. The son was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, psychotic disorder, oppositional defiance disorder and cannabis abuse. A family court judge issued an adult child support order pursuant to Family Code section 3910(a) which provides: “The father and mother have an equal responsibility to maintain, to the extent of their ability, a child of whatever age who is incapacitated from earning a living and without sufficient means.” Although the Court of Appeal found it was error for the trial court to order the payments made to the mother, the appellate court affirmed the order to the father to support his adult son.
