Pursuant to s. 61.1255, a guardian may petition the court for the authority to bring a civil suit in circuit court to establish periodic payments from either or both parents of the dependent adult child for the support, care, maintenance, education, and any other needs of a dependent adult child if not otherwise provided for in the guardianship plan. The amount of support is determined pursuant to s. 61.31. This section may not be construed to confer any obligation or duty for a guardian to pursue support on behalf of a dependent adult child.
