I recommend giving her the bedroom set its not worth the fees to fight..with only a 4 month marriage she might want for more but her claim is weak unless she can document extreme abuse...

California is a no fault state. Mental anguish won't factor in the divorce. What ever you owned before the marriage is separate property. Anything purchased during the marriage is presumed community and must be divided. Such a short marriage you both should consider summary dissolution and move on.

Mental anguish is not relevant in California. The only thing that the courts consider is whether there are irreconcilable differences. A four month marriage should be simple and uncontested.

The judge will divide whatever marital property that was accumulated during the marriage. They normally do not divide furniture, however they may tell you to refund half the cost of the bedroom set to your wife. Tort claims., such as her flimsy claim of mental anguish are not part of a divorce. Can you imaigne if they were? The courts would be absolutely flooded.
