Alimony in Portland: how it is calculated
Alimony in Portland follows Oregon law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Multnomah County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Portland case is actually heard.
Where a Portland case goes
A divorce filed in Portland is heard by the Oregon court for Multnomah County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Portland has about 635,749 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Type
Discretionary (case by case)
Does Portland have its own rule?
No. ORS 107.105(1)(d) applies across Oregon, so a case from Portland 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
ORS 107.105(1)(d) — Oregon spousal support (transitional, compensatory, maintenance).
