Alimony in Bloomington: how it is calculated
Alimony in Bloomington follows Minnesota law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Hennepin County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Bloomington case is actually heard.
Where a Bloomington case goes
A divorce filed in Bloomington is heard by the Minnesota court for Hennepin County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Bloomington has about 88,344 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Bloomington have its own rule?

What the statute says
