Child Support: Adult Children and M Ade

child support: This is for the government to look at, said Watson, who has paid child support for Joshua, his estranged 22-year-old developmentally disabled son, since the boy was 4 and now wants to stop paying, according to Metro News. This is not my fight. This is bigger than me, said Wayne Watson outside Brampton Court Friday, where seven lawyers acting pro bono gathered to argue whether the law discriminates against adult children with disabilities. I'm caught in the middle, he said. Laws are to be m ade by our elected officials, lawyer Gary Joseph told Ontario Court Justice William Sullivan. Lawyers acting as friends of the court on behalf of Watson said it should be up to Queen's Park and not a judge to decide if child support for disabled children of unmarried parents should continue into adulthood.
