Some states, including Mississippi, have statutes allowing for college support beyond the age of majority. If both parties voluntarily agree, a court can order support for the child's college expenses up to 21 years of age.
Child support's determined by taking the adjusted gross income of the non-custodial parent and multiplying it times the number of children in the custody of the custodial parent. For example, the statute reads that 14% for one child, 20% for two children, 22% for three children, and so on.
The age of majority in Mississippi is 21 years old. For child support ordered in other states, the age at which child support ends will vary. Once a child reaches the age of majority, or is emancipated, child support will be terminated, unless it is otherwise provided for in the support judgment.
In Mississippi for one child the non-custodial parent pays 14% of their adjusted gross income. For two children the non-custodial parent pays 20% of their adjusted gross income. For three children the non-custodial parent pays 22% of their adjusted gross income.
