If there is a court order for spousal support lets say $1500.00/m and on the order it says $500 is for spousal and the remaining $1000 is used towards monthly expenses. Property Tax, Mortage and so on.

She would claim the $500/m and he gets the deduction of $500/m She wouldn’t have to claim the full $1500.

Make any sence.
