Under the Canada Revenue Agency - Support payments it reads as follows
"Spousal support payments" Generally ,support payments made under a court order or written agreement for maintenance of the recipient are taxable to the recipient and deductible by the payer?
This is the US Turbotax support web site. If you are filing a Canadian tax return, their support site is here,

However, I suspect the general principle still applies that a deduction is taken when it is actually paid, and income is taxed when it is actually received, rather than when it should have been paid or received.
