Opinion by Hollander, J. ______________________________ Filed: December 30, 2003

This case, which is before us for the second time, has a protracted history rooted in an ongoing dispute regarding parental support for the parties' adult disabled child. Bonnie Corby,1

appellant and cross-appellee, and Daniel P. McCarthy, appellee and cross-appellant, are the divorced parents of Kelly McCarthy, who was born in January 1980. Appellee has paid child support for

Kelly since the parties' divorce in 1982. This appeal involves a "Supplemental Motion To Modify Child Support," filed by appellant on June 6, 2002, in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, seeking an increase with respect to

appellee's monthly support obligation of $702.

In response,

appellee asked the court to terminate his support obligation or, in the alternative, to reduce it. Following an evidentiary hearing in February 2003, the circuit court concluded that Kelly is a

destitute adult child within the meaning of Md. Code (1999 Repl. Vol.),
