Quote: “If there is a premarital agreement (aka prenup), that document will generally control any rights and obligations they have to each other. The existence of a prenup makes it highly unlikely that there would be anything due upon divorce for such a short period of marriage,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney Christopher Melcher, who specializes in high-net-worth divorce in California.

“In my experience, these short marriages take longer to sort out in divorce court than the time the couple spent together,” Melcher said.
