Event Description
Deadline to Register: February 8
What
happens when a disabled child reaches the age of 18? Minn. Stat. §645.451
defines "adult" as "an individual 18 years of age or older" with no reference to
the individual’s capacity. Minn. Stat. §518A.26, Subd. 5 defines a "child" as
"an individual under 18 years of age, an individual under age 20 who is still
attending secondary school, or an individual who, by reason of physical or
mental condition, is incapable of self-support." Minn. Stat. Chapter 518, which
sets out the considerations for custody and parenting time, does not define
"child" or "minor child."
What happens, then, when a disabled child
nearing or beyond the age of 18 needs a guardian appointed as an alternate
decision maker? Does the fact that child support can be required beyond the age
of 18 give any authority to the obligor over the living arrangements, care and
services to be provided to the disabled adult child? The presenters will discuss
the issues raised by the statutory gaps outlined above as well as discuss two
Minnesota Court of Appeals decisions involving these
issues.The Family Law Section membership will
meet prior to the CLE at 9:30 a.m. To attend the meeting remotely,
