Legal Question in Family Law in Canada

Separation and child support

I am not looking for legal separation or divorce as i do not want to traumatise my child for life.But this mariage is abusive more on emotional and mental and i am not able to be there 100% for my child.Is there anything like non'-legal separation where i can live separately from my spouse and recieve child support. I dont want any spousal support.
