Researchers found that the average separation lasts a year or less. For couples who eventually reconciled, most did so within the first two years. Beyond two years, there is little chance that a couple will reconcile. Many couples who end up divorcing do so after three or four years of separation. A few separations last more than 10 years. Those relationships tend to result in an ongoing separation where complicating factors prevent the couple from divorcing.
For example, in marriages that are 10 years or more, the court may determine that the supported spouse has the ability to become self-supporting and cut alimony at the halfway duration of the marriage. The closer to the ten-year mark, the more likely the court will at some point cut off the support.ypically, the court will look at the last five years of a long-term marriage as indicative of the marital lifestyle. That stops at the date of separation when there was a final and irremediable breakdown in the marital relationship. See our informative article on the date of separation in a California divorce.
