The situation calls out for Solomon’s Sword.
I think all marriages should be by contract, spelling terms and conditions, as well how dissolution will be handled.
They want the state to recognize their marriage so that they can get a divorce. So much for the myth that the gay marriage battle is about love.
Hey, Bryant, how about intervening in that corrupt farce of a Senate primary and demand Thad the Cad get off the ballot ?
How about states where the husband pays alimony to his wife? I think I see onfusion on the horizon...
The state doesn’t believe they are married (because they are not), so what’s the point in trying to convince the state to accept their so-called divorce [yes, I’m pretending that this isn’t just a game to force recognition of their arrangement as if it was a real marriage]? Why would a sane person want to pay a divorce lawyer in order to get formal state recognition of the status that the state already recognizes? The state doesn’t think they are married, and they don’t want to be married, so no one other than a drama queen would think this was a problem that required a judge and lawyers.
But I thought this was a committed relationship, that needed an upgrade? Really? I guess sone relationships aren’t like the movies. Guess they have the same roblems they despise in the rest of us.
