**Tax Year 2016**Deductions after divorce

My ex-wife and I were separated for the entire 2016 tax year and divorced on June 15, 2016. The court ordered me to pay my ex-wife's health, dental, disability, and life insurance monthly premiums for the entire 2016 tax year. Am I allowed to deduct these payments as "alimony" for 2016?
