In the state's I'm familiar with, any method of getting out of child support is invariably illegal. You have to get paid under the table, which isn't an option anyway for most jobs you'd want to work. Child support automatically pre-empts any other garnishment you have, even a tax garn.
As for it's validity, it's one of those things that really makes in some situations (the deadbeat dad who leaves his uneducated wife with three kids, and without child support they'd be on the streets) but is really crappy in a lot of other ones (golddigger wife leaves for greener pastures, hubby's working fifty hour weeks for the next two decades to basically get minimum wage). I know people on both ends of the spectrum.
