What is the name of your state? Tennessee
My wife and I agreed to the uncontested divorce. My wife was one whom wants a divorce, not me. However, I do not want to fight with my wife because my wife said that if I agree to the divorce, I do not have to pay a child support.

The question is that if I agree to the uncontested divorce, can she agree to no child support? (that what she told me if I agree to the divorce).

What do u think?

Thanks, Tom

PS - I appreciated the answer before I agree to the uncontested divorce. If I find out that I have to pay a child support regarding if she said no, then I want to fight the divorce.

You and your wife can agree to anything that you like. However, its possible that a judge would refuse to sign off on a divorce agreement that makes no provision for child support. I am not guaranteeing that a judge would refuse to sign off...just that its possible and maybe even probable.

However, contesting the divorce is also not realistic either. If she wants a divorce she is going to get one. You can't stop that from happening. You can maybe delay it, but it WILL happen. Get yourself a consult with a local attorney so that you can get the full details of what is and isn't possible or realistic in your local area.
