Alimony in Boulder: how it is calculated
Alimony in Boulder follows Colorado law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Boulder County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Boulder case is actually heard.
Where a Boulder case goes
A divorce filed in Boulder is heard by the Colorado court for Boulder County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Boulder has about 106,803 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Boulder have its own rule?
No. C.R.S. § 14-10-114 applies across Colorado, so a case from Boulder 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
C.R.S. § 14-10-114 — Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 14-10-114 (spousal maintenance — advisory guidelines).
