Do you have to pay child support if in divorce decree states none to be paid?

By the letter of the law, that is true. However, you may consider stepping in for special trips, sports and other activity fees, and other needs that you see--not to be Santa Claus, but to participate in your child's life.

Answer

Many states would not accept a provision in a divorce agreement that absolved the non-custodial parent from child support obligations. Children are legally entitled to the support of both parents and a parent would not be allowed to give up their child's right to support. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should go into a college fund for the child. You should consult with an attorney. If the relationship changes between the parents the non-custodial parent could find themselves being sued for back child support.
