Alimony in Yakima: how it is calculated
Alimony in Yakima follows Washington law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Yakima County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Yakima case is actually heard.
Where a Yakima case goes
A divorce filed in Yakima is heard by the Washington court for Yakima County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Yakima has about 97,390 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
