Syllabus

The trial court erred in concluding it lacked jurisdiction to enter a support order for a disabled child whose disability occurred before he turned 18 but who was older than 18 at the time of the parties' divorce. Though the trial court reasonably relied on Geygan v. Geygan, 2012-Ohio-1965 (10th Dist.) as the controlling precedent to conclude it lacked jurisdiction to enter a child support order for the disabled child pursuant to former R.C. 3119.86, this decision overrules Geygan. Therefore, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the matter to determine the question of support for the disabled child from the time of appellant's counterclaim of divorce until the time of the disabled child's death.
