If I'm helping to pay my ex spouse's medical bills incurred during the marriage, through court ordered payments, is that considered alimony? It's not said to be alimony

** Tax Year 2018 and Earlier** If I'm helping to pay my ex spouse's medical bills incurred during the marriage, through court ordered payments, is that considered alimony? It's not said to be alimony

To further explain, while I've read that as long as it's not listed in court documents as NOT alimony, it's alimony. Do they mean the court documents will literally state "this payment is not to be considered alimony"? It is worded that the payment is for medical bills, but not whether it is or is not considered alimony.
