Generally, child support is only ordered until the child 18 years of age. However, you need to check your own child support order and any separation agreement associated with your divorce.

How long should child support payments be made to a child going to college in the state of Mississippi?

The child doesn't receive child support. The custodial parent does. The state of MS normally orders child support through the age of 21, if the child is still in school. However, there are situations that would be cause for termination of support. For exampe, if the child "cohabits with another person without the approval of the parent obligated to pay support". You can find the laws regarding this under MS Code 93-11-65(8a).

You will no longer have to pay child support once your child reaches 18 years old and they choose not to attend college. If they attend college full-time, you will be ordered to continue paying until they either graduate or drop out.
