Alimony in Orem: how it is calculated
Alimony in Orem follows Utah law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Utah County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Orem case is actually heard.

Does Orem have its own rule?
No. Utah Code § 81-4-502 (formerly § 30-3-5) applies across Utah, so a case from Orem 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
Utah Code § 81-4-502 (formerly § 30-3-5) — Utah alimony (duration capped at the length of the marriage).
