Default Spousal/Child Support Question

I have a question about how spousal support is typically addressed in a separation agreement

I have read the guidelines about amounts and duration of spousal support. The question I have is how is it typically awarded.With the spousal support is it given as a set amount? the percentage( the 1.5 or 2%) ? If it is based on a percentage, do they use your last years income to award the amount of the support and adjust the future year based on that? I expect my situation to change in the next few months and I don't want to constantly have the amounts adjusted but would rather have a set amount that could be increased or decreased even on a yearly basis.

Any clarification on this would be helpful :-)
Thanks
Jenny
