Knoedler v. Comr., T.C. Memo. T.C. Sum. Op. 2011-18

(taxpayer's payments to former wife deemed child support rather than deductible alimony; state court decision to allocate family support payment equally as child support and spousal support not binding on IRS; payment agreement contains contingency related to a child - child's high school graduation reduces taxpayer's obligation from $2,000 per month to $1,000 per month per child in college).
