Divorce for Same-Sex Couples

The Washington City Council is reportedly working to make it easier for same-sex couples who married in the District of Columbia to get divorced. According to reports, some couples are being denied divorces after moving to jurisdictions that don’t recognize same-sex marriages. Now, a new bill would remove the six-month waiting period during which someone seeking a divorce must reside in the District if the marriage occurred there.
