If their marriage was legally recognized then why would it be any different when filing for divorce?<HR>

Well if it's not legally recognized in RI then they were never married there in the first place so they wouldn't have to file for divorce anyways. Right? <HR>

Rhode Island wrestles with lesbian divorce
Couple married in Massachusetts files for state?s first same-sex dissolution

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A lesbian couple married in Massachusetts has filed for divorce in Rhode Island, setting up a legal conundrum for judges in a state where the laws are silent on the legality of same-sex marriage.

Margaret Chambers and Cassandra Ormiston of Providence were married after the Massachusetts Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2003, making it the only U.S. state allowing same-sex couples to wed.

Chambers' attorney, Louis Pulner, said Wednesday the couple had irreconcilable differences, and filed for divorce Oct. 23 in Rhode Island family court.<HR>

If memory serves, Congress passed and good 'ol dubya signed something saying that states were not required to recognize gay marriages performed in other states. <HR>
