My ex wife works for a family law firm as a paralegal, she drafted our divorce agreement without a date to end the alimony payments, I think she used her knowledge to gain advantage over me and not she won't agree to revise the terms. Do I have a case here? In California. We were married for about 12 years.

In California a marriage in excess of 10 years is considered long term, and therefore, there is no date certain for termination of spousal support. On that specific issue-no advantage.

You have to go to court to end the alimony payments. There needs to be a change of circumstances. After 10 years, alimony can go on forever/until there's a change of circumstances. There is no automatic end date.
