Already emancipated

[kwwj]

If a child is over 18 and residing in his home state where the age of majority is 18, can another state that I reside in where the age of majority is 21 issue a child support order, once emancipated can one be un-emancipated.

Are you a previous resident of the other state? Did that state previously handle this matter? If so, then must likely yes. It might also be that the order is regarding past due support.

If the order is out of Miss., that's where it will stay - so it will stop at 18 or graduating high school.

If the minor is emancipated because of age or graduation, the minor cannot become un-emancipated. That would only happen if (for example) the minor left for basic training but then got out and went back home).

Don't confuse the age of majority with emancipation.
Emancipation possesses a very specific legal meaning.
The age of majority has little to do with court ordered child support.

Alabama and Delaware confer majority upon minors at age 19.
Your state, Mississippi confers majority upon minors at age 21.
If your parent or guardian receives child support for you, its quite possible it won't stop at age 18. You might want to read the child support order.
Arkansas confers majority at age 18 or graduation from high school, whichever is later.
Nevada confers majority at age 18, or if still in high school at 18, 19 or high school graduation, whichever comes sooner.
Ohio confers majority at age 18 or graduation from high school, whichever comes first.
Tennessee confers majority at age 18 or graduation from high school, whichever is later.
Utah confers majority at age 18 or graduation from high school, whichever is earlier.
Wisconsin confers majority at age 18, or if still in high school at 18, 19 or graduation, whichever comes sooner.
All the other states confer majority at age 18.
