Long term marriage does NOT equate to spousal support.
it does when one spouse is indigent assuming they aren't indigent due to refusal to work when they have the capacity to work.
If he can work and is just refusing not to, income will be imputed to him. However, I get the feeling from what he has posted that she has the higher earning capacity. Just like the nurse who works to put her doctor husband thru medical school will get spousal support after 32 years of being married and supporting him through his education, this guy will get spousal support even if he can work if she has the higher income.

You're missing the point completely.

No, it doesn't. More likely? Sure. Automatic? Nope.
