If you're able to adequately care for the child without it, I don't think anyone can force you to actually cash the checks. Note, though, that if you don't want to accept child support because you think it will mean that you do not have to abide by the other terms of the decree, you're wrong; you can not deny visitation rights, for example. (In most if not all states, you can't deny visitation even if the other party was not even attempting to make the payments... you'd need to seek a modification of the decree.)
