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.
