Alimony in Marietta: how it is calculated
Alimony in Marietta follows Georgia law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Cobb County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Marietta case is actually heard.
Where a Marietta case goes
A divorce filed in Marietta is heard by the Georgia court for Cobb County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Marietta has about 63,122 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Marietta have its own rule?
No. O.C.G.A. §§ 19-6-1, 19-6-5 applies across Georgia, so a case from Marietta 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
O.C.G.A. §§ 19-6-1, 19-6-5 — Georgia alimony factors (adultery bar).
