Alimony in Racine: how it is calculated

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

Where a Racine case goes

A divorce filed in Racine is heard by the Wisconsin court for Racine County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Racine has about 78,057 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Racine have its own rule?

No. Wis. Stat. § 767.56 applies across Wisconsin, so a case from Racine 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

Wis. Stat. § 767.56 — Wisconsin maintenance factors.
