And so it begins...

Two women married in MA have filed for divorce in RI. This is the first gay divorce I have heard of, and it's the first one the RI courts have seen. Their laws are silent on gay marriage and the issue hasn't been forced yet, so this now *is* the first test of their laws. I'm not holding my breath - that is, while I am hopeful RI will do the right thing, it's not clear to me what the right thing even *is* here, nor do I think it'll happen quickly.

That would be an annulment, not a divorce. Which for a short term marriage, like this probably was, would probably work out. But for a long term marriage there are sure to be shared assests, possibly including children, whose disposition would have to be worked out.
