You need to consult/hire a family law attorney who is licensed in the state of Mississippi to assist you in this matter. Maybe even try contacting the Attorney general's office in Mississippi.

Your son does not get to stop child support. Get into counseling with him and fix the relationship.

Read the law yourself below copied from the Mississippi state code Section 93-11-65 dealing with reasons a court can consider a child emancipated and ineligible to continue to receive child support despite the child, like your son, still being under 21. If you decide sue to stop the child support, get an attorney licensed in Mississippi to help you as there may be facts in your case that hurt or help you: (8) (a) The duty of support of a child terminates upon the emancipation of the child. Unless otherwise provided for in the underlying child support judgment, emancipation shall occur when the child: (i) Attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, or (ii) Marries, or (iii) Joins the military and serves on a full-time basis, or (iv) Is convicted of a felony and is sentenced to incarceration of two (2) or more years for committing such felony; or (b) Unless otherwise provided for in the underlying child support judgment, the court may determine that emancipation has occurred and no other support obligation exists when the child: (i) Discontinues full-time enrollment in school having attained the age of eighteen (18) years, unless the child is disabled, or (ii) Voluntarily moves from the home of the custodial parent or guardian, establishes independent living arrangements, obtains full-time employment and discontinues educational endeavors prior to attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, or (iii) Cohabits with another person without the approval of the parent obligated to pay support; and (c) The duty of support of a child who is incarcerated but not emancipated shall be suspended for the period of the child's incarceration.
