Default Anyone paying alimony to an ex spouse back in the UK

What with the new tax rules recently passed there was a provision to stop the tax relief when paying alimony.

My tax accountant informs me that this will effect me as I pay apx $300 p/m back to the ex.
But I has understood it to only effect new court orders, anything before 2019 was grandfathered in and thus excempt from the new rules.

Anyone in a simnilar situation?

I believe you're correct. New spousal support agreements plus existing agreements that are modified, from Jan 1st 2019 onwards.
