Re: maintance
The duration of a marriage goes to how much maintenance might be awarded and for how long. It is not the standard for whether maintenance can be obtained. That standard is a needs standard. However, a 5 month marriage is very unlikely to result in an award for maintenance.
What a person brings into a marriage remains non-marital property so long as that property can be traced. If you have $10,000 coming in and you can show it went to a downpayment on a house, then it is non-marital property. If you have $10,000 coming in and you spent it on food, entertainment, etcetera, then it is has become marital property.
