Does Waterville have its own rule?
No. 19-A M.R.S. § 951-A applies across Maine, so a case from Waterville 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
19-A M.R.S. § 951-A — Maine spousal support (general support for marriages of 10+ years).
