Alimony Paid A deduction is allowed for the total amount paid to a former spouse during the taxable year for alimony or separate maintenance under a court decree. Child support payments don't qualify as an alimony deduction.

Unfortunately, having a court make the decision means there will be a trial, and that can cost you a lot of time and money.n the other hand, alimony generally isn't awarded for short marriages or where you and your spouse earn close to the same amount.
