Anything beyond a ten year marriage, support is indefinite. That doesn't mean it can't be modified or cancelled for cause, such as remarriage or failure to make efforts to become self sufficient, but the 1/2 length of marriage rule is for marriages under 10 years in most cases.

The right of spousal support is right that is earned during the course of the marriage. The longer the marriage ,the more profound that right is. You have a long marriage and the issues surrounding spousal support could be complicated. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
