Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce

When on files for divorce and have one child, can they leave out the child support on the divorce papers? I am thinking about filing for divorce and I don't want any child support. I think as adults we are able to work through maintaing support for our daughter. I don't need a paper forcing him and/or telling him what he needs to pay. Also, how much will it cost if we both are agreeable?

Generally speaking, judges require child support in the decree, unless the parties establish a truly joint custodial situation. Feel free to email me directly if you need additional information.
