Only a few states allow for permanent alimony because such an institution is generally frowned upon. As of this writing, only 3 states in America allow for permanent alimony, which are Massachusetts, Mississippi and Tennessee. The reason why many states fell out of favor with this is because permanent alimony was deemed too harmful to the payer and prevented the payer from beginning a new life. Were the payer to remarry and have children, the financial burden would be detrimental to the new family (which are now victims of the permanent alimony).
Child support is not income to the recipient or a deduction for the payer. Spousal support, also called maintenance or alimony, is income to the recipient and deductible for the payer.

The Payer of a check is the person who is paying money for the check. That is the person who has issued the check. For ex: I owe you $1000 and I give you a check for it from my bank account, I become the payer of the check and you will become the payee.
Payer is the person who pays money using a check whenever it's paid or due. Payee is the person who receives a check or a money order that is or will be paid or due.
The payer is the person that is paying a sum of money to the payee. The payer signs the check and the payee is the person who cashes the check.
A balance payer pays off any outstanding balance of money owing on an account on every payment due date.
The bank receiving the money is the payee. The payee gets whatever from the payer.
