Are child support payments that I MAKE taken from GROSS wages or NET wages? IE: Is is taxed?

I am having child support taken from my wages each 2 weeks, but my employer is deducting my payments from my NET wages, not my GROSS wages, ie, I am paying taxes on my payments. I know that payments are NOT normally tax deductible, but are they still taxed or not?

it is a pre tax deduction....so it comes from your gross income! Speak to your manager or owner and see if they will fix it! They are costing you a lot of money!

You don't get a tax break for child support so your employer is doing it the right way. It comes off after the taxes are deducted.
Nope, not taxable to recipient and not deductible to you. Of course you're paying taxes on your wages, and then your child support is deducted. Whether you're a divorced father, happily married, or a deadbeat dad, it comes from your net wages. Be glad it is from net not gross, as they'd take a larger chunk out, decreasing your take-home, but increasing the pittance you pay for your child.
