The duration of alimony can vary widely based on several factors, including the length of the marriage, the recipient's needs, the payer's ability to pay, and state laws. Generally, alimony can be awarded for a specific period or indefinitely, depending on the circumstances. Some states have guidelines for temporary or rehabilitative alimony, while others consider it permanent if the marriage lasted a long time. Ultimately, the specifics will depend on the individual case and jurisdiction.

Some states allow you to receive temporary alimony while the case is pending in court, however, you cannot receive alimony after the annulment has been granted. This is because an annulment declares the marriage to be "void" and erases it as if it never existed under the law. Spousal support cannot be awarded if no valid marriage existed. If you believe you will need spousal support, you may prefer to file for divorce or legal separation as alimony may be awarded in both of these cases.
