Alimony in Akron: how it is calculated
Alimony in Akron follows Ohio law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Summit County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Akron case is actually heard.
Where a Akron case goes
A divorce filed in Akron is heard by the Ohio court for Summit County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Akron has about 189,664 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Akron have its own rule?
No. ORC § 3105.18 applies across Ohio, so a case from Akron is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
