What are the circumstances that would make a judge make you pay a spouse permanent alimony?

In general the factors are the length of the marriage and the ability of each party to earn income including age, health and work history. The standard of living during the marriage is also a very important factor. There are others but in family law there are no guarantees. People's lives change. The retire, remarry, die, etc. Nothing is "forever". Generally, on a long term marriage which is ten years or more, the spousal support will be ordered in the judgment for one-half the length of the marriage. If things change after the judgment, the spousal support order can be changed.

You are entitled to reimbursement from him for one-half of the principal paid during those two years by you. Then the equity is split.
