Alimony in Dayton: how it is calculated
Alimony in Dayton follows Ohio law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Montgomery County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Dayton case is actually heard.

A divorce filed in Dayton is heard by the Ohio court for Montgomery County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Dayton has about 136,346 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
