What the HELL is all that crap?
For a marriage lasting only a bit over 6 years there shouldn't be any spousal support at all! The hell say no and let her bring this to court if she wants to. The onus would be on her side to convince the judge that she is entitle to that support. You can prove on your side that you did your share to help her to achieve that goal for the year you have paid but that is enough.
You gave her a year already, that's enough to settle an be self-sufficient. Is she young? Does she has health issues for not working? Does she has a degree? What kind of education? Experience? Did she and where she worked before? Have she had made any effort to find a job lately? (job search, interviews, letters of acknowledgment from employers, letters from employers confirming the status of the job following the interview)
You are self-represented as I did for my case. I said no to her asking 700$/month and I won my case for a 15 years of marriage.
STOP paying right now and show that you already help her enough.
Look at the following rules concerning short marriage. (less than 20 years) and the rule 65.

Build up your case with those information. Don't forget that after SS is ordered, it is a pain in the ass to have it reviewed later on and more pain in the ass to have it removed. Google on spousal support with key words and get as much as direction to justify your position just then. Look at the factors for long term marriage for comparison.
Do not rely only on the SSAG. Those are only a tool for a first point to start off.

Remember that each case are unique and treated as case by case.
Most of the errors the poster will make is accepting the offer being proposed by the OP. Remember that the offer made by the lawyer of your ex-partner is to accommodate his client only. Not you. He doesn't work for you, he represent the other side only.
