I had a divorce (Dissolution) in a community property state (Calif) in 2003 that included a provision that my ex was entitled to half of my civil service (federal) retirement at the time of dissolution. Here in 2020 she has been collecting half of retirement until a fixed amount is received and then I receive full share. The retirement was listed as community property when declaring property at time of dissolution. The question is can I claim this as alimony, when in the court order it specifies it as spousal support.
