Was the child determined a special needs child.? Why has the mother not sought a guardianship and file for the child to receive SSI benefits on his parents account?? If the court ordered support to go beyond the child's 18th birthday, then there had to be findings and a reason.? Support stops when the child is of age and responsible for him/herself.? In your question the child may never be so responsible, but there are ways for the child to have benefits that are not in the form of support.? Review your Child Support Order.

In Utah, the law is that typically a parent pays child support until the child reaches the age of majority or graduates from high school whichever event occurs last, and in the event of a child with special needs Utah law allows child support to be award until the child reaches the age of 21 years of age.
