The U.S. Constitution forces each state to give Full Faith and Credit to the marriages and divorces of sister states. That's why even though Virginia requires a person to be separate and apart for 6 months before they can get a no-fault divorce, the same couple can establish residence in Nevada and get one over-night (I'm exaggerating, I think). And Virginia will have to recognize the divorce as legal. I believe the same result will occur if one state legalizes gay marriage and others do not.John Doehttp://maaadddog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
