Temporary separation, not finalized- child support

My husband and I currently have temporary separation orders, but we have not finalized the separation. We have no plans to divorce and we want to file our taxes together- married filing jointly. Since the separation orders are not final, I selected that we are both married. My question is about child support. He pays me child support each month through the court order. But since we are filing together, do I need to report any of this on my taxes?
