Alimony in Rutland: how it is calculated
Alimony in Rutland follows Vermont law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Rutland County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Rutland case is actually heard.
Where a Rutland case goes
A divorce filed in Rutland is heard by the Vermont court for Rutland County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Rutland has about 15,565 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Rutland have its own rule?
No. 15 V.S.A. § 752 applies across Vermont, so a case from Rutland 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
15 V.S.A. § 752 — Vermont spousal maintenance (statutory guideline ranges).
