How do I stop wage assignment for child support now that my youngest child, (age 22), is graduating from college?

If your child support is colected by DOR then you should file an administrative review with DOR. You submit all your documents and an explanation. They contact the other parent and give them an opportunity to contest or agree. If you don't agree with the result of the review, you can file a judicial review in Probate Court. If you pay the support directly, you need to file a motion to terminate. Some judges won't considera motion to terminate but will require a complaint for modification.

It is hard to say that a particular living arrangement is harmful...
