Spousal support is not guaranteed in any situation. However, if you have been married for 10 years or less, you can usually expect to get spousal support for approximately half the duration of your marriage. For example, if you are married for 4 years, you may be able to get spousal support for up to 2 years after your marriage ends. If you have been married for more than 10 years, you may be able to get spousal support indefinitely.
