Alimony in Quincy: how it is calculated
Alimony in Quincy follows Massachusetts law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Norfolk County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Quincy case is actually heard.
Where a Quincy case goes
A divorce filed in Quincy is heard by the Massachusetts court for Norfolk County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Quincy has about 103,434 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Quincy have its own rule?
No. M.G.L. c. 208 §§ 49, 53 applies across Massachusetts, so a case from Quincy 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
M.G.L. c. 208 §§ 49, 53 — Massachusetts Alimony Reform Act of 2011 — general term alimony (amount § 53, duration § 49).
