My brother recently divorced. Although he owned the home before the marriage, and he paid all the mortgage payments during the marriage. was ordered to give her 15 thousand dollars for her equity in the house because she lived there for 8 years in addition to one hundred thirty dollars a week child support.
I know the child support is not tax deductable, wouldn't he be able to count the 15 thousand he gave her by check as a tax deductable alimony?
