**Tax year 2016** In 2016 I had a temporary divorce settle agreement to pay support. Was not legally separated or divorced. We lived in the same household when the payment were made.

Does support payments still qualify as alimony even if the parties reside in the same household and can I claim on my taxes?  Divorce was finalized in 2/2017.
