Alimony in Shelton: how it is calculated

Alimony in Shelton follows Connecticut law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Naugatuck Valley Planning Region or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Shelton case is actually heard.

Where a Shelton case goes

A divorce filed in Shelton is heard by the Connecticut court for Naugatuck Valley Planning Region. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Shelton has about 42,805 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
