Alimony in Ellsworth: how it is calculated
Alimony in Ellsworth follows Maine law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Hancock County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Ellsworth case is actually heard.
Where a Ellsworth case goes
A divorce filed in Ellsworth is heard by the Maine court for Hancock County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Ellsworth has about 8,822 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Ellsworth have its own rule?
No. 19-A M.R.S. § 951-A applies across Maine, so a case from Ellsworth 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
19-A M.R.S. § 951-A — Maine spousal support (general support for marriages of 10+ years).
