I answered a very similar question earlier this afternoon. Your best bet is to retain an experienced family law attorney, who can review the facts in much greater detail than this site can deal with. In any case, the length of the marriage is significant both as to property division and maintenance. There are a number of other factors, but in my experience, length of the marriage usually has a high priority.

A portion of whatever assets were acquired during the marriage will go to your spouse. Anything owned prior to the marriage to which no funds were contributed during the marriage from community earnings (all earnings during the marriage unless you had a pre-nup to the contrary). The fact that it's your second marriage is irrelevant.

Community property, including retirement plan, is that property acquired during the time of the marriage. Accordingly, the monies that came into your retirement, and the earnings on those monies, during the 3 years of marriage would be considered marital property.

Impossible to answer without review of assets and liabilities. You need an attorney.

You are looking at the community having an interest in assets predating marriage reflecting contributions during marriage before separation to the equity of the assets in proportion to all contributions to such equity. Refinancing and title holding can create much different results. You need to hire, and inform, an attorney or proceed in the dark.

Need more facts. The only valid opinion is you need an attorney.
