you might still be married everywhere but texas, though! idk how full faith and credit would apply in this situation.

I think that's probable.

If only I wanted a divorce, I would *love* to be the test case, but I actually don't.

Hm. Wonder if the feds will catch on make everybody in Texas file single. Would help the treasury, wouldn't it?

would that be the easiest or the most acrimonious divorce ever? it's so hard to say, it could go either way. there's also always the possibility of the bigamy (or more!) test case -- if no marriages are legal, some dude could set up a "come in with two or more, i'll 'marry' all y'all!" house of worship and be all legit and aboveground.

Yeah, that would be that extreme LDS compound outside Waco where they seized all the children two years ago because the men were reputedly making multiple 'spiritual' marriages with under-aged girls. Think they might be off the hook? I think the state just got a conviction on the *one* guy with whom they thought they could make the case stick.

Dude, lol. Does it count if you got married in Texas, but now you live somewhere else? Because it would be totally hysterical to present hubby with evidence that we aren't legally married. He'll laugh forever.

Who knows?

I got married in Texas, lived elsewhere for years, and now am living there again. So, voila: not so married!

(I really think this is wonderful poetic justice for all those looney sanctity of marriage idiots who voted for that amendment. Just. Ha bloody ha!)
