Another one for the “Shortest Celebrity Marriages” list. A month after their July 4th wedding, actor Johnathon Schaech and One Tree Hill actress Jana Kramer have announced their split.

“Jana and Johnathon have agreed to dissolve their marriage,” Kramer’s representative told media. “Jana is humbled by the outpouring of support from her fans, friends and family, and appreciates the respect of her privacy.”

The former couple met in 2008 while shooting a film, became engaged last year and were married last month in Michigan. Schaech previously commented that getting engaged to Kramer was the “happiest moment of my life.”

Sources to the tabloids (for whatever they’re worth) blame the break-up on the 14-year age difference between the couple and the fact that Kramer didn’t like living at Schaech’s bachelor pad. One would have expected them to have discussed those things prior to the wedding?

Unless Schaech and Kramer did an inordinate amount of spending and/or working in the few weeks they were married, it seems unlikely that there will be much (if anything) in the way of community property to divide. They are very likely eligible to file for a summary dissolution under California family law – a streamlined process which does not require a hearing and is available only for relatively short marriages, with no children and little community property. Parties must have an agreement and waive any right to spousal support. These two seem like perfect candidates.

Even with summary dissolution available, the divorce process will most certainly take longer than their entire marriage.

Schaech, who most notably appeared in the movie That Thing You Do!, was previously married to actress Christina Applegate from 2001 to 2007. He was represented by divorce attorney to the stars Laura Wasser in his divorce from Applegate. No word yet on who he intends to hire for this divorce.
