Guam § 4105 - Payments for Disabled Children and for Education.

§ 4105. Payments for Disabled Children and for Education.

If a child residing on Guam is disabled before the age of

eighteen (18), the court may, at any time before the child reaches

the age of twenty-one (21) years, find that both parents (or the

surviving parent if one is deceased) have a mutual obligation to

support the child beyond the age of majority, and based upon such

findings, order either or both of the parents to pay continuing child

support for the benefit of such child directly to the child or his

guardian, as is appropriate. Such support may be modified in the

same manner as child support may be terminated if no longer

needed, shall continue for as long as the child is disabled and

requires support, and shall be treated as child support for purposes

of this Title. Such support may be enforced by the child, the

child=s guardian, either parent, or the Attorney General.

The parents may in an acknowledged writing or stipulated

court order agree that they have a mutual obligation to provide

educational assistance to a minor child after the age of majority,

and may agree that support shall continue for a child after the age

of eighteen (18) for a time certain for purposes of educational

assistance. In any case where the parties stipulate that one or both

of the parties have a continuing obligation for the child=s educa-

tion, with the amount of support subject to modification as to the

amount according to child support guidelines and the

demonstrated needs of the child, the agreement may be enforced

by the Attorney General, either parent, or the child if over the age

of eighteen (18). In such cases, said support shall be treated as

child support for purposes of the Title, except that such support

shall be paid directly to the child after the age of eighteen (18).@
