How long is the EX Spouse legally bound to pay Alimony in California?

My son has been told by his Ex that he needs to pay her alimony until she re-marries or dies. Is this correct according to California law? They were married for 14 years before she asked for a divorce on the grounds she didn't love him anymore. He want's to get the alimony reduced as the company he worked for went bankrupt and his income has been suddenly reduced to a quarter of what he made when the divorce took place. He has heard this definition of the time alimony is required by the State of California is much less.
Sincerely,
June Link

As I understood the Ca. courts during my divorce, alimony is typically paid @ 1/2 the term of the marriage, in your son's case 7yrs.
