I'm starting to recognize the dumpster fire that this is. I did receive alimony for a period of time because she divorced me whilst I was undergoing back surgery. The military retirement portion is separate as written in the divorce decree. Basically, "wife shall pay 26.25% of military retirement as well as the addition of yearly COLA increases in the same amount of 26.25% of the cola increase. She has paid me by check for at least 10 years then zelle was invented and she began transferring that money to my bank account. I don't see how it could be considered alimony but it would be extremely helpful if it were able to be classified as such, legally.
