Section 513.5 of Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act authorizes awards of support from a former spouse to support the former spouse's adult disabled children. In court proceedings under Probate Act, court may look to that support provision in Dissolution Act. Court should consider factors provided by Section 513.5(b) of Dissolution Act in deciding whether and how much support is appropriate.
