If I was only married for 7 months what would be the best way to go through divorce?

Hiring an attorney is the best way.

Consult with an attorney.

If marital property must be divided equally.

In California, community property is only that which accumulated during the marriage (from date of marriage to the date of separation), therefore, after seven months there can't be too much to divide. If you have children, you have to take care of custody, visitation, and child support issues. Spousal Support is generally only awarded for one-half of the length of the marriage (as a guideline), so, the lesser earning spouse, would only be entitled to support for a few months, IF the judge thought even that was reasonable given the very short term of the marriage. Get to the court or hire an attorney to file your paperwork and get the process going before it gets any more complicated.

I need to know what you mean by "everything" because there are certain items that she is not entitled to receive simply because of the length of marriage. If you would like to discuss your particular situation you can contact our office for a free 30 minute consultation in which we will discuss your options.

Find an attorney. She may get spousal support for half length of marriage but stuff acquired during marriage should be equally divided. Unless you had a lot don't spend a fortune to get nothing.
