A state court order must say military retirement pay is part of the alimony can a former spouse receive a portion. No Federal law says a former spouse is entitled to the pay as part of alimony.

No, you would not be responsible for your husband's alimony payments to his ex-wife if he can't pay. Your income is not considered a factor in payments. Depending on the agreement, your husband may modify the alimony payments in court if he can show proof he is unable to pay.
Alimony payments are deductible as an above-the-line deduction on your Federal income taxes. They are reported on Line 31a of Form 1040 for 2010. Note that Line 31a also requires you to report the Social Security Number of the person you paid alimony to, because it will be considered taxable income for them. It's important to point out that child support payments are NOT deductible. So, if you are making monthly court-ordered payments that include both alimony and child support, you can only deduct the portion of those payments that are considered alimony. Usually the court order will specify these amounts.
If the payments do not go through the court, they are not counted as being made as ordered.

Interesting question... I would guess that the person paying the alimony could perhaps petition the court to suspend the alimony payments during the period their ex-spouse was incarcerated.
