Alimony in Salem: how it is calculated
Alimony in Salem follows Oregon law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Marion County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Salem case is actually heard.
Where a Salem case goes
A divorce filed in Salem is heard by the Oregon court for Marion County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Salem has about 180,406 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Type
Discretionary (case by case)
Does Salem have its own rule?
No. ORS 107.105(1)(d) applies across Oregon, so a case from Salem 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).
