is payment of health insurance consider spousal support in the state of california ?

small claims court found that my x- wife should aquire the insurance before i would be required to pay the monthly amount. when i retired she demand payment for the last 16 years plus interest. [$16,000]. i agree to pay the the months she had aquired health insurance[$10,000]. she agree . now she wants me to declare this is not spousal support so she won't have to pay taxes.

1. She cant have it both ways. What would you call it other than spousal support? I'm assuming that it was part of a divorce order or you would not be paying it. I'm assuming that she may have deducted her insurance costs as medical expenses in prior years so if she is now getting reimbursement, she would owe taxes.
2. If you declare it isn't spousal support, then you still haven't really satisfied the court order. She's going to have to pony up the taxes.
3. Well, I don't think it's spousal support, but I'm not a judge. I think this is a question for your attorney.
