Alimony in Westminster: how it is calculated
Alimony in Westminster follows Maryland law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Carroll County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Westminster case is actually heard.
Where a Westminster case goes
A divorce filed in Westminster is heard by the Maryland court for Carroll County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Westminster has about 20,662 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
