Alimony in Auburn: how it is calculated
Alimony in Auburn follows Alabama law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Lee County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Auburn case is actually heard.
Where a Auburn case goes
A divorce filed in Auburn is heard by the Alabama court for Lee County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Auburn has about 83,757 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Auburn have its own rule?
No. Ala. Code § 30-2-57 applies across Alabama, so a case from Auburn 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
Ala. Code § 30-2-57 — Alabama alimony (2018 reform: rehabilitative alimony presumed).
