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.

Thus, if you were married for seven years, you are not obligated to pay more than seven years of alimony.
