AI generated

The court granted the divorce petition and ordered spousal support without a time limit because the parties failed to agree on a duration. The plaintiff sought dissolution under the Marriage Act, arguing for indefinite financial assistance, while the defendant contested the lack of a specific timeframe. The court ruled that without mutual agreement, the default legal position allows support to continue indefinitely until remarriage or death.
