Co-signed for now ex-wife

I co-signed student loans through Sallie Mae for my now ex-wife.  She hasn’t made a payment since March 2024.  I have made every payment since to keep my credit protected.  

It’s my understanding that I can claim the interest on my taxes since I’ve been the sole payer.

 

As an aside, she was ordered to make tge payments, and she’s currently in contempt…..but, I still have to pay in the meantime.
