Alimony in Madison: how it is calculated
Alimony in Madison follows Mississippi law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Madison County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Madison case is actually heard.
Where a Madison case goes
A divorce filed in Madison is heard by the Mississippi court for Madison County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Madison has about 28,210 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
