No. Payments to an ex from a settlement from a divorce agreement aren't a deductible expense on a tax return. If the payments are alimony payments  ordered from a divorce or separation agreement that was finalized prior to January 1, 2019, the alimony payments are  deductible.

 

For more information, refer to the TurboTax articles and Can I deduct alimony I paid to my ex-spouse? and Video: Tax Tips for Divorced Couples.
