According to the California State Law the duration of spousal support is closely linked to the length of the marriage. Frequently, practitioners speak of the ' rule of thumb ' that spousal support will last for one-half the length of the marriage.
The duration of spousal support is left to the sound discretion of the court within certain general equitable principals and guidelines most often set forth in the common law case histories. However, in marriages of less than ten years, the statue provides a presumption that support should be granted for half the length of the marriage.
