In the State of Mississippi is it necessary for the parent to go to court to end child support payments when the child reaches the age of 21?
If the support order designates the age as 21 and the payments are being made to the custodial parent not to the state and payments are current then the support may be ended upon the child's twenty-first birthday. If payments are made through the state's family and children's services department or some other state agency, a notice of release from obligation must be obtained from the authorized caseworker. Biological parents and adoptive parents must support a child until: the child reaches the age of majority (and sometimes longer if the child has special needs or is in college) the child is on active military duty the parents' rights and responsibilities are terminated (for example, when a child is adopted), or the child has been declared emancipated by a court. (Emancipation can occur when a minor has demonstrated freedom from parental control or support and an ability to be self-supporting

Does child support payments stop after the child graduates high school?
The only time child support stops is when the child turns 18 and it is paid in full with no back child support owed. If there is any child support owed however it still can be collected even if the child is 18 and out of school. The only other way child support may stop is if there is also an adoption even then if there is support owed before the adoption they still get that money. This is all of course if you have a child support order through the courts or it's in a divorce decree.

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 pay 600 per month child support to the State of Texas for a child you have never seen but who has your DNA The child will be 18 years old in June 2009 Does that end your court ordered obligation?
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.
