Re: divorce/property
The principle behind dividing property from a short term marriage is to put the parties back in the position they were in before the marriage.
Chances are quite good that your soon to be ex will not be taking the title to either of your properties, given the exigencies of your facts.
You will do better with counsel than you will do without. WA is a community property state, so theoretically your property is now co mingled, but the time period is so short that competent counsel should not have a hard time convincing the Court that you should not have to share.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
