As long as there will be no government assistance needed by either party, chances are good the judge won't care if you both agree to waive child support. I presume that you have in your proposed order an equal splitting of any extra curricular activity costs as well as medical and dental bills, etc. I know you are trying to your divorce on the cheap; however, it would not hurt to have an attorney to review the document on your behalf to make sure all areas have been covered.

Generally a simple statement that each of you will be responsible for the costs and expenses of the child while he is with you should be sufficient.
