Marriages illegal under U.S law have no status in the eyes of the law. So if a same sex couple divorced in the states it would mean nothing because the marriage is not recognized under the law to begin with.

Foreign marriages, probably. But the problem with "gay marriages" in another state, say The People's Republic of Massachusetts is the 'full faith and credit' provision of the Constitution, which requires states to honor each other's laws, absent a contrary law. Example: New York does not do common law marriage. But if an unmarried New York couple goes to a state that does, and they meet the requirements of that state for common law marriage [could be as little as cohabit, and hold yourself out as husband and wife], or if others from that state meet the requirement, and then move to New York, New York will recognize them as married.

So their property-division issues (for example) would have the same status as any two people who used to live together?
