There is no brighline answer to this question but usually short marriages to not qualify a spouse for alimony because there is an assumption that there was not enough time to create the need for alimony payments. More specifically, the court assumes that you have kept the same ability to support yourself that you had before marriage. And each spouse is expected to be substantially independent and self-supporting within a short period of time. However, there are circumstances in which a shorter marriage would allow for alimony. For example, a situation in which one party was not working at all and does not have the skills to make an income or some other showing of hardship.

After a divorce how much alimony is paid to ex-wife and if either gets married again is he still obligated to pay and is it based on who earns more who is responsible 2 pay How does it work?

If a husband files for divorce he can specify that no alimony be paid. If a wife files, she can ask for alimony, but usually it's because she has no income or a very low amount of salary. The wife can ask for whatever amount she wants but the husband can file a paper showing that he can't afford that amount. The judge can decide how much it will be. Usually it's less than half of whatever the spouse earns. Many women don't ask for alimony. In most divorces women don't pay alimony to men. If you have a rich wife you could get it. If the woman (or man) receives alimony and gets married - the alimony stops. If the person who pays alimony gets married they still have to pay it.
