The statutory guidelines provide a formula to determine the duration of the spousal maintenance based on the length of the marriage, but it can end early if the recipient remarries or starts living with someone else. Generally, the longer the marriage, the longer a party pays spousal maintenance, however there are circumstances that also impact on the duration of support that should be explored with your lawyer.
