Alimony in Troy: how it is calculated
Alimony in Troy follows Michigan law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Oakland County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Troy case is actually heard.
Where a Troy case goes
A divorce filed in Troy is heard by the Michigan court for Oakland County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Troy has about 89,209 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
