No dissolution of marriage granted on the ground of permanent legal incapacity to make decisions relieves a spouse from any obligation imposed by law as a result of the marriage for the support of the spouse who lacks legal capacity to make decisions, and the court may make an order for support, or require a bond therefor, as the circumstances require.

(Amended by Stats. 2014, Ch. 144, Sec. 11. (AB 1847) Effective January 1, 2015.)
