All $36,000. The $3,000 monthly "family support" (not designated as child support) is treated as alimony if it meets the other alimony requirements (cash payments under a divorce/separation instrument, stops at payor's death, payer and payee live apart, etc.).
Note: For divorce/separation instruments executed after Dec. 31, 2018, such payments are not deductible by the payor nor includible in the payee's income under the post‑2018 rules. If the instrument is pre‑2019, the $36,000 would be treated as alimony for tax purposes.
