Can my wife for go child support if I have sole custody?
My wife presently lives outside the home and we want to divorce. I have custody of the children which my wife agrees is the best thing to do. We don’t wish to exchange child support or alimony we just want to divorce. I want her to have any household goods she came came into the marriage with. She would also receive two automobiles and $37,000 from a mutual retirement account. I would maintain ownership of the house and all of it’s responsibilities, plus my county retirement The child care plan would be as follows she would be welcome too see the children at anytime they/she wants.

You seem to have worked out the details but it needs to be memorialized in writing. I do NOT think that the child care plan will work. What if you want to take them away to see your relatives for Christmas and she wants them too? How is that resolved? In court I would imagine. And child support is not something you have control of. State law governs that issue. It is not up to you. Good luck.
