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.
There are two types of alimony: 1  Alimony during the wait for the divorce-This is also called alimony pedente lite. 2  Alimony after the divorce-Permanent alimony is payment made by one party to the other after the divorce, either by court order or by mutual agreement. A court can award this type of alimony between the time you file for divorce (and make a request for alimony) and the time the divorce is final. 2  The purpose of this type of alimony is to maintain the status quo during the divorce. 3  It does not necessarily mean that you will be awarded alimony after the divorce.
