Can I deduct spousal support payments from my income when filing CA state income taxes?

Yes, you can deduct those In California, but not on the federal return. In California:

If you receive alimony payments, you must report it as income on your California return.
If you pay alimony to a former spouse/RDP, you're allowed to deduct it from your income on your California return.
