Was Chris Kattan just being polite? Or did his wife’s filing for divorce surprise him as much as John McCain cancelling the debate surprised Barack Obama? His soon-to-be ex, Sunshine Tutt, rushed divorce papers into the court system just a matter of weeks after the two announced their separation but said they had no plans to divorce.

Granted, there aren’t many divorce papers filed in California that show “Statistical Facts,” part C, as date from marriage to separation: 0 years 2 months.

The rest of the paperwork was pretty much as expected. Respondent (Tutt) requested dissolution of marriage based on (1) irreconcilable differences (although “unsound mind” and “incurable insanity” might have looked tempting, considering Kattan prances around in tights and sticks his crotch in people’s faces as Mango the monkey boy on SNL — probably not the person you want to relax with on a Sunday morning).

Page two declares that there are no community or quasi community assets or debts to be disposed of.

What about those wedding presents, huh?

But there is a check mark in front of “property rights to be determined,” and “spousal support and equalization if the parties do not reach a settlement.”

You know what that means: prenup.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of drama happened in the marriage’s two short months, but Kattan can be sure that a courtroom will hear about it if the terms of the prenup are not upheld.

As we remind lovebirds over and over, discuss finances, put it in writing, and commit to a prenup before getting married. You never know, when things are going well, how quickly they can go wrong.
