It may be semantics, but, Mr. Jones is now paying tax on $100,000 instead of $85,000. So, I am sure that he feels like he is paying tax on the alimony payments.

One of the inequities about alimony is that Ms. Jones can move in with a guy who makes $500,000, and still receive the alimony, as long as she doesn't get married.
