Court Urged to Void Gay Divorce
Posted on Jan 17, 2011 5:40pm PST
A state lawyer in Texas is reportedly arguing in an appeals court that Judge Scott Jenkins violated state law when he granted a divorce for a same-sex couple this year. Texas does not recognize same-sex marriage and therefore will not grant divorces. However, the former couple's lawyer is arguing that the matter ended months ago and there is no reason to bring this matter up again.
