I believe it's law everywhere that you have to pay until they are 18 regardless if the child is in school or not.

The court order for child support stipulates the manner and length of time in which support is mandated.

Issues concerning the legitimacy of payment should always be discussed with legal counsel, preferably the attorney who handled the original case.

The parent under the order should NEVER arbitrarily cease or change the payment arrangement.

In the State of Michigan, if the child is no longer in school, i.e. quits before they turn 18, you are no longer obligated to pay child support.

Most child support documents require you to pay until 18, or finish school. Check with your child support office or your attorney.

Typically, yes. Most states order child support to continue through high school. Check your order to see what it says.

As long as there is no back-support owed (Child support that is owed from previous months not paid) then 18 is the cut off limit for child support and you would no longer be obligated to pay. HOWEVER, in the state of Texas, if the child continues into college, the legal guardian of the child can bring you to court to continue the support until the child graduates from college.

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).
