While it matters to you, it doesn't really matter to the courts as you are the father and should not be selfish enough to expect not to pay child support. However, for your own peace of mind you can see a lawyer and request that all receipts are given to him or you to be sure that child support is being spent on the child and not by the mother.

My husband and I agreed on a dissolution. I have an attorney trying to save costs. He doesn't want to pay child support. Is there another process besides filing for a no-fault divorce on this issue?

Yes, reconciliation.Get a new lawyer. Trying to save costs on a child support issue is malpractice as far as I see it. Unless there is some reason you havent mentioned in the question, getting the father to pay child support is a no brainer for a good lawyer. I would not suggest reconciliation with someone who refuses to be responsible for his child.
