Does child support have to be paid if we get divorced?

The issue of child support must be addressed in every divorce that includes a minor child. Judges usually require that the parties submit a completed child support computation form. However,child support does not have to paid in every case because judges are allowed to deviate from the child support guidelines. For example, in a case where the parents share joint custody of a child, the judge can order that no child support be paid at all if the parties agree. So while the issue of child support must be addressed in the divorce papers, the judge can order that child support does not have to be paid by either spouse.
