Without knowing more about your case, it is difficult to provide an answer. Generally, it is against public policy for a court to award no child support. The minimum allowed under the Child Support Standards Act is $300/year. You and the person could agree to a child support amount that is lower than what the statute requires him or her to pay (which is his or her pro rata share of 17% of combined parental income up to $136,000 for one child).
