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 answer is simple. The father must pay child support to reimburse the social agency that is supporting his child. It is not the responsibility of tax payer supported agencies to support the children of irresponsible parents. If you bring a child into the world you must support that child until adulthood.The answer is simple. The father must pay child support to reimburse the social agency that is supporting his child.

No, child support is not tax deductible for the payer, nor taxable for the recipient. See IRS Publication 504 for details: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p504/ar02.html#en_US_2010_publink1000175957

No Child support payments are neither deductible by the payer nor taxable to the payee. When you calculate your gross income to see if you are required to file a tax return, do not include child support payments received.

No, parents paying child support cannot deduct those payments from their income when determining eligibility for Section 8 housing. Child support payments are considered part of the recipient's income, and the paying parent's income is assessed in full. Therefore, both the payer and recipient must report child support payments when calculating income for housing assistance.
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.
