You pose some interesting questions. If they are not divorced and there is no pre-nuptual agreement or other agreement to waive the wife's spousal election, she will recieve a portion of his estate. The amount depends on other factors. A divorce attorney would be more appropriate to answer the question about spousal support if there is a divorce after six months.
