But this is why. There's always a hook to bring us to view the story then the dopey ending. If marriage is not recognized in a State, they will not have the process for divorce. My guess is divorce could occur if they went back to the State where they married.
caz12: It's not draconian cuz ya can't marry. If we could marry but not divorce, that would be really stupid and I'd agree, draconian.
In the end, Harris denied both women’s requests, stating that he had no jurisdiction to make such rulings in a state where the law doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages. The case marked the first time in Tarrant County that a same-sex couple had sought to dissolve their marriage through the court system. Long lives in North Richland Hills and Powell lives in Fort Worth.
