When Does Spousal Support End in California?

In California, the duration of alimony is usually calculated based on the duration of the marriage. For marriages that lasted less than 10 years, the support is typically ordered for about one-half of the marriage duration. For example, there would be three years of support after a six-year marriage.

Unlike child support, spousal support payments/alimony is at the sole discretion of the court, and the judge will consider a number of factors before ordering one spouse to make monthly payments to the other.

There is no statute of limitations in California when it comes to collecting spousal support. Once the court orders alimony, referred to spousal support in California, the order stays until fully paid or sent to collections.

How Is the Amount Determined?

The amount of spousal support payment is determined by considering matters such as the marketable skills of the spouse to be supported, the standard of living during the marriage, the duration of the marriage, the age and overall health of both spouses, any child support obligations, and other factors.
