Same-sex divorces more difficult than marriages
THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR
Gay and lesbian couples from Indiana can get married in more places than ever, but they could face a legal dilemma after they return home. If the relationship sours, the lack of recognition for such unions in Indiana law presents couples with a classic Catch-22: They can't obtain a divorce in their home state because their marriage is void here, and they can't easily seek one where they were married because of residency requirements for divorce.
A Marion County court recently denied a divorce for a Hoosier couple because of the state's ban on same-sex marriages, creating an unresolved issue that could cause trouble if either decides to enter into a new marriage. That frustration was clear during a court hearing attended by the two women last month.
