Alimony in Centennial: how it is calculated
Alimony in Centennial follows Colorado law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Arapahoe County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Centennial case is actually heard.
Where a Centennial case goes
A divorce filed in Centennial is heard by the Colorado court for Arapahoe County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Centennial has about 108,853 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Centennial have its own rule?
No. C.R.S. § 14-10-114 applies across Colorado, so a case from Centennial 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).
