Supreme Court of Florida

A divorce decree may provide that alimony payments are to be excluded from the gross income of the payee and not deducted by the payor, and in such a case those payments do not constitute "alimony" for tax purposes, are not included in the gross income of the recipient, and are non-taxable to the recipient.
