What is the parents’ duty to support the incapacitated child?
Full Question:
I am a divorcee residing in California. I have an incapacitated son, who is 22 years old. My ex-husband has stopped providing child support after my son has attained 19 years. Is there any provision to claim parents support to an incapacitated child? If yes, does the duty to support ends upon attaining majority by the incapacitated child?

Answer:
Fam. Code, § 3910, states:
"(a) 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.
(b) Nothing in this section limits the duty of support under Sections 3900 and 3901."
