Reply to jogoesq's Post: My daughter was diagnosed with severe neurological developmental delays. This was first diagnosed in 1993 and I was never notified. My Daughter Brianna is completely bed bound according to the physician statement and unable to make any decisions for herself. According to the doctor statement in the court papers the prognosis is such that she will be incapacitated for life.

My child support is slated to end on September 26 when she turns 18 so I am hoping the child support will end at that time also. But, according to the attorney that served the papers she will be receiving child support for the rest of her life since she is mentally handicapped.

Reply to jogoesq's Post: In the divorce proceedings the child Support was to end at age 18 or until she graduated from high school.

the court documents that were sent were for her to be appointed as permanent guardian since my daughter is handicapped and can't make any decisions herself. My concern is once she gets this paper approved by the court I will have to pay child support to my daughter because of her handicap. According to the information that I found under Texas law a child will continue to receive child support for life if they are handicapped.

Given the fact that I was just informed about this condition and I have not seen my kids for over 18 years even after several attempts because I did not know where they were I do not think I should forced to pay this until she passes away.

In reading the court laws I think she would have to bring me back to court to get the order modified at this time.

Thanks for this information. Currently she is receiving Social Security in the amount of $500 per month according to the court documents.
