For divorce decrees finalized after 2018, alimony is no longer deductible.
If the divorce decree was finalized prior to then, and this payment is coming as a result, you still would not be able to deduct it as alimony as you are not including the disbursement that is being paid out in your income. You would be getting an extra deduction without the matching income.
