No, child support is not tax deductible for the payer, nor taxable for the recipient.

You can only claim a child on your taxes if you provide at least 50% of the FINANCIAL support (through mortgage, food, clothing, education, etc.) for the child.

In most states yes. However, the child will not claim it, rather the custodial parent.
Can a parent paying child support file child on taxes?
Paying Child Support has nothing to do with any right to claim the child on their return. A divorce agreement or custody agreement usually deals with rights to claim a child on a tax return. If there is no such agreement deciding who get to claim the child then the IRS rules do. Usually the first right is the custodial parent (the person the child lives with). Residency is one of the requirements to claim a dependent.
Can you claim your incarcerated child on your taxes?
Because the state provides most of the support for an incarcerated child, a taxpayer may not claim a child if the taxpayer provides less than one half of the child's support.
