Your questions are very pertinent but require case by case and item by item analysis to answer. I would urge you to communicate with a lawyer to settle these matters. Normally there would not be much to divide insofar as there is a limit to what can be accumulated within an 8 week period. If ever there were major purchases made during this period, an 8 week marriage is a clear candidate for unequal division of the family patrimony.
