Alimony in Jacksonville: how it is calculated
Alimony in Jacksonville follows North Carolina law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Onslow County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Jacksonville case is actually heard.
Where a Jacksonville case goes
A divorce filed in Jacksonville is heard by the North Carolina court for Onslow County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Jacksonville has about 70,840 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Type
Discretionary (case by case)
Does Jacksonville have its own rule?
No. N.C.G.S. §§ 50-16.3A, 50-16.2A applies across North Carolina, so a case from Jacksonville 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
N.C.G.S. §§ 50-16.3A, 50-16.2A — North Carolina alimony and post-separation support.
