The court must determine paternity before entering an order for support. However, paternity is assumed if the parents were married when the child was conceived/born. Paternity may also be established by the father's acknowledgment of paternity, or by the father's failure to cooperate in genetic testing.

In most states, if you were married to the mother of the child at the time of the birth of the child you are automatically assumed by the courts to be the father. Also, if you were unmarried at the time of the child's birth but the mother listed you as the father, you can be sued for child support unless you request a paternity test from the court.

The only way would be to do a personal agreement between the mother & father, ideally having it filed with the court. However, at any time, either parent can utilize Child Support without the other parent's consent. If the Mother spends more time with the child than the Father, she is most likely entitled to child support.
