Yes, but the Court can overrule your agreement. The Court has a mandate to oversee what is in the best interest of the minor child in any given divorce proceeding. However, if your stipulated child support amount reflects truly what is in the best interest of the child with all things considered, the Court may likely share your judgment on the matter if you disclose your prudent reasoning for the off-guideline stipulation.
