this answer is based on the income of both parties. with joint custody, generally neither party pays support, but supports the child 100% when in their care. However, if one parent makes 21K a year and the other parent makes 100K a year, the parent making considerably more should contribute to the other party making the child's home and needs equally comfortable.

Yes, disfellowshiping does not effect the parental obligation to support and care for family members.

Since there is no religious mandate on this matter, the decision to support grown children or not would therefore be a personal decision.
