Karla M. Reichert v. David K. Reichert

Syllabus

This is a dispute over a child support obligation for a severely disabled adult child that would have terminated on the child's 25th birthday under the Marital Dissolution Agreement (\MDA\). Prior to the expiration of Father's agreed upon support obligation, the child's mother petitioned for child support to continue due to the adult child's ongoing disability and needs. Finding that the adult child was severely disabled and living with her mother prior to attaining eighteen years of age and she remains severely disabled, the trial court granted the mother's petition and ordered that the father's child support obligation be extended indefinitely. The trial court also awarded the mother a judgment of $21,700 in retroactive child support. The father appealed. We affirm.
