Hello and welcome to Just Answer.

The duration of the alimony will be determined by the courts, so it is not necessarily set to two years from the hearing. In Pennsylvania, rehabilitative alimony may be awarded to allow a person a specific amount of time to "rehabilitate" themselves. The settlement could be money for a party to go back to school or get back into the work force. Permanent alimony may be awarded for the rest of a person's life. Reimbursement alimony may be awarded to a spouse to compensate them for expenses they may have taken responsibility for while the other obtained an education. With the exception of reimbursement alimony, most alimony is terminated when the spouse who receives the alimony moves in with another person in a marriage-like situation, remarries, or dies.

I recommend that you refer to your court order for the exact terms for termination of spousal support.
