Alimony in Burlington: how it is calculated
Alimony in Burlington follows Vermont law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Chittenden County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Burlington case is actually heard.
Where a Burlington case goes
A divorce filed in Burlington is heard by the Vermont court for Chittenden County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Burlington has about 44,432 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Burlington have its own rule?
No. 15 V.S.A. § 752 applies across Vermont, so a case from Burlington 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
15 V.S.A. § 752 — Vermont spousal maintenance (statutory guideline ranges).
