It still has to go through the courts, however a family lawyer can be used, but should not be. The lawyer represents the interest of just one parent and any agreement will lean in that direction. It's also an unnecessary cost. If the parent are in agreement, everythign can be done using a certified mediator which is paid by both parents. Once the mediator has produce an agreement, it can be registered, pro se, with the court. A hearing date will be set at which time the parents swear to the contents of the document. This would also be a good time to settle all other related issues, such as access rights. see links below

Is it a law that states child support must go through the courts?
I suppose the parents could agree on child support without going to court; however, I would counsel against it. From the obligee's perspective, such an agreement is probably not enforceable, and as for the obligor, such an agreement would not preclude the obligee from going to court later.
