**Tax Year 2018 and Earlier**I am divorced since last year December but paid alimony under a separation agreement for the entire year. What documents do I need to attach to deduct alimony?

I am divorced since last year December but paid alimony under a separation for the entire year. The final agreement is in place since October and I am divorced since December. Prior to October I paid alimony under a temporary order.

Which divorce documents do I need to attach to my first tax return as divorced single to deduct alimony? Do I need to attach these every year?
