paid to ex for her student loans per divorce agreement

is there any way to reduce tax as money went to ex per divorce agreement for her student loans

[SharonD007]

No. Payments to an ex from a settlement from a divorce agreement aren't a deductible expense on a tax return. If the payments are alimony payments  ordered from a divorce or separation agreement that was finalized prior to January 1, 2019, the alimony payments are  deductible.
