Can I deduct the money my ex wife receives from my pension after I retired

Up until last year I was paying her spousal support. I did take the deduction for those payments.

Our divorce was finalized in 2016 to add context to my question

Great question, Rod! While the spousal support can be deducted in certain circumstances, amounts paid from a retirement plan are not deductible. This is because the amount is generally treated as if the recipient were a plan participant as well.

Reference page 17 "Qualified Domestic Relations Order": Publication 504 Divorced or Separated Individuals

Hope this helps!
