Many believe that spousal support automatically lasts for life if a marriage lasts 10 years or more. However, while long-term marriages allow courts to retain jurisdiction to adjust support orders, indefinite support isn’t guaranteed. The court reviews ongoing support needs and adjusts orders based on changes in circumstances.
The length of support depends on the duration of the marriage:
Spousal support ends upon the death of either party, the remarriage of the supported spouse, or by agreement between both parties.

Temporary support is calculated using a specific formula, while permanent support is determined by weighing factors outlined in California Family Code Section 4320.

The duration depends on the length of the marriage. Short-term marriages typically see support last half the marriage’s length, while long-term marriages may result in indefinite support.
Can spousal support be modified?
Yes, spousal support can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as job loss or a change in income.
What is rehabilitative support?
Rehabilitative spousal support is temporary financial support provided to help the lower-earning spouse gain education or job training necessary to become self-sufficient.
