You are married and the reasons for annulment probably don't apply, so divorce is more likely. She will be entitle to one-half of the community property, but there may not be much of that after only two months. However, you want to be divorced as soon as possible so that her debts don't become your debts and vice versa.

There are only a few grounds parties can base an annulment. Unless one party is willing to admit to commuting fraud a Nullity will not be granted. You can file for summary judgment if you qualify which is probably the least difficult and least costly process. You qualify if ALL of the following apply: You and your spouse: Have been married for less than 5 years (from the date you got married to the date you separated); Have no children together born or adopted before or during the marriage (and you are not expecting a new child now); Do not own any part of land or buildings; Do not rent any land or buildings (except for where you now live, as long as you do not have a 1-year lease or option to buy); Do not owe more than $6,000 for debts acquired since the date you got married (called "community obligations"); Do not count car loans. Have less than $38,000 worth of property acquired during the marriage (called "community property"); Do not count your cars. Do not have separate property worth more than $38,000; Do not count your cars Agree that neither spouse will ever get spousal support; AND Have signed an agreement that divides your property (including your cars) and debts. If you qualify, you may not even need to appear in court. Good luck.

Can a legal separation be filed by the wife and agreed upon by both parties without having 2 lawyers?

Yes, you don't have to both have lawyers. It is generally advisable, however. A lawyer cannot represent both people in a divorce or separation, therefore if you are not represented you may  be at a disadvantage in dealing with the other side.
