A friend from college had a "starter marriage"- they married right out of college and were married for around 2 years before they decided to divorce. Since neither one had any assets or money, they ended up doing a "do-it-yourself divorce"- no lawyers were involved. They filled out all of their own paperwork and represented themselves the one time they actually had to appear in court. I think it only cost them $100 in filing and court fees. Not sureif you could do that in all states (This was Ohio).

As for the pre-nup, I like the idea of the experation date in theory, but it could get a little sticky if they decide to pull a Donald Trump. I don;t know if you can put in any other continencies- such as they have to go to couseling before separating (and if they don't then the prenup holds) or something.
