Re: Texas' Refusal To Allow Gay Couples To Divorce May Be The Next Constitutional Sho
The fed has decided that some federal benefits should be paid to SS couples. AFAIK, the federal government has not recognized SS marriage. I'm not sure if the feds recognize SS divorce. Interesting point since presumably those SS benefits would go away in the event of a SS divorce.
Back to the OP, all this couple has to do as far as Texas is concerned is to go their own ways If they want a divorce in the traditional sense, shouldn't that happen where SS divorce is legal.
Then the federal government needs marriages and divorces every state recognizes just like with hetero marriage. After all some benefits are federal not just state
