Is cash received as part of divorce division of property one time tax free equalization payment taxable?

As part of the divorce division of property, I am receiving an one-time tax-free equalization payment of an amount from both my ex's Stock Brokerage and Retirement accounts. Is that payment a taxable income to me?

I am reading mix reviews about if it's part of property settlement hence tax free or if it's part of alimony hence it's taxable


Thank you for everyone's help
