California is a community property state so, whether they were married 10 years or 72 days, Vanessa would still get half since they don't have a pre-nup.

10 years, however, is considered a "long-term" marriage in California. That means that, when calculating spousal support, that the court cannot terminate spousal support on a specific date. She's never had a career, so spousal support will probably last longer than if they had been married 5 years and she had been a stockbroker beforehand.

Sen is gay and heterosexual couples in California apparently have a lot of protections in terms of divorce.
