Is there child support I paid as a custodial parent eligible for a tax adjustment?

I had my child more than 50% of last year. Per a joint custody agreement, I pay the non-custodial parent child support. Is this deductable?

Child support paid is not deductible on a federal tax return.  Child support received is not reported as income on a federal tax return.
