                                        - 7 -                                         

               Neither the Temporary Orders nor the Permanent Orders                  
          provided for any payment as a substitute for the unallocated                
          family support payments in the event of Ms. Miller's death.                 
               From January 1 to November 11, 1993, Mr. Lovejoy paid                  
          unallocated family support to Ms. Miller of $32,789 pursuant to             
          the Temporary Orders.  From November 12 to December 31, 1993, Mr.           
          Lovejoy paid $5,203 in unallocated family support and $200 in               
          maintenance to Ms. Miller pursuant to the Permanent Orders.  On             
          his 1993 Federal income tax return, Mr. Lovejoy claimed alimony             
          deductions for his payments of $37,992.  On her Federal income              
          tax return for 1993, Ms. Miller included only the $200 of                   
          maintenance required by the Permanent Orders in her gross income.           
               From January 1 to February 28, 1994, Mr. Lovejoy made                  
          payments to Ms. Miller of $6,654.  Under the terms of the                   
          Permanent Orders, $400 of this amount was maintenance, and $6,254           
          was unallocated family support.  From March 1 to                            
          December 31, 1994, Mr. Lovejoy made payments to Ms. Miller of               
          $28,070.  Of this amount, $19,000 was child support, and $9,070             
          was maintenance.  On his 1994 tax return, Mr. Lovejoy claimed               
          $18,656 as an alimony deduction.  On her 1994 tax return, Ms.               
          Miller reported alimony income of $9,448.5                                  


               5Most of the inconsistency in reporting is explained by                
          petitioners' inconsistent treatment of the unallocated family               
          support payments.
