California family law doesn't permit you to "sign away" financial obligation to a child, even if you have given the other parent physical and legal custody. Assuming you are trying to cut your costs by not paying the other parent, I strongly suggest you hire a competent Family Law attorney.
Child Support in California is generally based on quality of life at both parents' house, divided equally. The intent of the law is to maintain a fair quality of life for the child, no matter where or who they live with. Financial "fairness" to the parents is not considered, unless one or both are unable to earn a fair wage. Also, quitting your job doesn't equate to reduced expenses, because the other parent or the court can determine your ability to earn a wage and has the ability to "impute" an income on your behalf, making you potentially owe more than you can make.
Best of luck.
