Once a marriage hits the 10-year mark, California law allows the lesser-earning spouse to receive alimony potentially indefinitely, depending on the circumstances. This provision aims to ensure financial fairness and stability for the spouse who might have sacrificed career advancements during the marriage.
California law requires both parties to consent to be married, but mere consent does not a marriage make. Generally, there must be a marriage license issued, a solemnization and authentication following the issuing of the license, and a recordation in the county where the solemnization/authentication took place.
Couples must also get a marriage license from a county clerks office and be 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you must get parental consent. If either party was married before, they must show proof of the dissolution of any prior marriages to ensure a valid marriage.
Absence of Common Law Marriage in California The concept of a couple being considered legally married after living together for a specific period doesnt apply here. Despite popular belief, even if youve been cohabiting for 7 years or more, it wont automatically grant you the status of a married couple.
Many people wonder how many years of marriage are required for alimony in California. While California does not set a specific time for a person to be married to qualify for alimony, the length of your marriage can significantly impact the duration of alimony payments.
