This post just shows your ignorance. The Defense of Marriage Act -- or DOMA -- has nothing to do with anything you have discussed thus far. DOMA is federal legislation that is intended to stop the spread of so-called marriage between homosexuals but permitting states to not recognize what some states (read Vermont) may want to call "a marriage."

DOMA is an effort to permanently codify marriage as being between one man and one woman -- divorce is not a subject covered by DOMA. It only applies to the issue of a man claiming to be married to another man or a woman claiming to be married to another woman because, under the concept of "full faith and credit" I believe, the other 49 states are required to recognize as legitimate a marriage that is recognized in any one state.
