Child support payments

I have been making child support payments with an agreement that has been notarized. Is there a way to get that put in for a tax credit?

No, child support is not deductible.

I guess I asked this wrong. In New York there is a credit. How do I get the credit if I am making a non court ordered child support payment?

Sorry, cannot answer a NY question.  Re-post your question and put New York in the question so it will catch the attention of someone who knows NY tax info.
