Spousal support can continued to be paid until the spouse receiving the support remarries. If your the one paying the support find the spouse someone to love and cherish unlike you now sound unwilling to do, even though you bought the ticket for the ride. If your the spouse receiving the financial support get a good job and don't worry about relying on someone to support you, take control of your own future security.

California and spousal support.... I don't get it.
Child support is the right thing and something entirely different.
My nephew is living in California paying spousal support to a woman who: 1) had an affair, 2) filed for the divorce!!! California is a goofy place.
I think he's paying support for about 4 months but I'm not positive about that.

The quick answer is it could be for life. It typically depends on how long the two of you have been married. Usually, if your spouse re-marries, the support stops. Other factors are:
(a) children involved
(b) spouse's skills in the workplace, (or lack thereof).
(c) the divorce laws in your state.
As mentioned, a lot depends on how long the two of you have been married. Make sure YOU have a competent divorce attorney! Try your best to mediate the settlement prior to going to court.

Really a broad question. Depends on the state, and situation. I have seen kids in there 30's and the father pays until retirement. Until kids are 18, 21, 25. Just really depends on the situation and state laws, education factors, lifestyle factors.....

For the rest of your X-spouses life or until she re-marries. Sad, but this is how some judges rule.
It does depend on how long you were married.

depending on the judge's ruling--until death of the spouse or re-marriage. That is the general standard in most states, but a judge can modify or change it any we he or she sees as reasonable, or if circumstances change, like a catastrophic illness or accident.
