In California, 29 years is a very long time. It is substantially above 10 years which is the threshold after which a lower income spouse can hope for lifetime spousal support. And Jesyka cannot get on her feet. It is not realistic to expect that of a person her age and without a marketable skill set or education. She can bring a vocational specialist to testify that she cannot earn above minimal wage. At worst, what will be imputed to her is minimal wage income. Of course, if she can show that she is disabled, not even that. And she would need to pay for the services of a vocational expert witness, but that is what 2030 fees are for. Getting SSI, even peanuts, would be extremely helpful because then the issue of marketable skills and earning ability will be moot and she won't have to hire a vocational expert witness.
