Can temporary spousal support, as required by California law, be deducted in the same way as alimony after a divorce has been settled? If not, how else?
I paid temporary spousal support for more than 6 months in 2017, but we do not have a written agreement regarding amount or modalities. Can I claim this as a deduction the same way as if we had an agreement or a divorce?

If you have no court order or decree or other type of written separation agreement, the payments would be voluntary and not be deductible.
