Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Mississippi

can I divide my mortgaged property?

My mortgage loan was taken for my house and 5 acres of land (so said the realtor) but it was entered on the books as being on all 27 acres of land. Can the 22 acres be seperated out without paying off my mortgage?
