HASTINGS V. HASTINGS
841 So.2d 484 (2003)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Mother (M) and disabled adult son (S) appealed from the grant of
summary judgment to Father (F) in F's declaratory judgment action brought to determine
whether F had the obligation to pay support for S.
FACTS: In 1953 F and M divorced. The father was ordered to pay child support until their
son reached the age of 21. In 2001 F filed a declaratory action, seeking to have determined
whether he has an obligation to pay support for his 50-year-old son, who has an
autism-related, chronic condition (Asperger's syndrome) for which he began receiving
treatment at age 8. M and S counter-petitioned for support under Section 743.07(2), which
does not prohibit any court of competent jurisdiction from requiring support for a dependent
person beyond the age of 18 years when such dependency is because of a mental or physical
incapacity which began prior to such person reaching majority. F was granted summary
judgment and this appeal resulted.
