Alimony in Lewiston: how it is calculated
Alimony in Lewiston follows Idaho law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Nez Perce County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Lewiston case is actually heard.
Where a Lewiston case goes
A divorce filed in Lewiston is heard by the Idaho court for Nez Perce County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Lewiston has about 34,693 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Lewiston have its own rule?
No. Idaho Code § 32-705 applies across Idaho, so a case from Lewiston 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
Idaho Code § 32-705 — Idaho spousal maintenance factors.
