A marriage of any length could give rise to an obligation of spousal support. A marriage of more than 10 year is considered a long term marriage and support can be for an indefinite period of time.

Both spouses are entitled to spousal support based on need of one party and the ability of the other party to pay. A marriage of long term duration (10 years+) qualifies for a long term, permanent spousal support order.
