ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland's highest court is scheduled to hear a case that could set a statewide precedent for same-sex divorce even before a gay marriage law takes effect.
The Baltimore Sun reports Maryland's Court of Appeals will hear the case next month of Jessica Port and Virginia Anne Cowan. The women were married in a California courthouse in 2008 when gay marriage was legal and returned home to Washington.
Two years later, Port filed for divorce in Maryland where she bought a home. A Prince George's County judge denied the divorce petition saying the women's marriage wasn't valid.
A few other same-sex divorces have been granted in Maryland. Judges in Baltimore and Prince George's and Calvert counties have granted divorces.
A ruling by Maryland's highest court could set a statewide standard.
Your marriage is not valid.
ReplyDeleteGo back to the land of fruits and nuts to get your "divorce"
Then go find a good man to take care of you
Now they're fighting for pedophiles to be able to marry children.
ReplyDeleteQuestion? If two women get married, who pays for the wedding.
