Alimony in Norfolk: how it is calculated
Alimony in Norfolk follows Nebraska 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 Norfolk case is actually heard.
Where a Norfolk case goes
A divorce filed in Norfolk is heard by the Nebraska court for Madison County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Norfolk has about 26,162 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Norfolk have its own rule?
No. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-365 applies across Nebraska, so a case from Norfolk 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
