Alimony in Baltimore: how it is calculated
Alimony in Baltimore follows Maryland law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Baltimore city or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Baltimore case is actually heard.
Where a Baltimore case goes
A divorce filed in Baltimore is heard by the Maryland court for Baltimore city. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Baltimore has about 568,271 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
