What ever you want to call it, same-sex marriage, gay marriage, marriage equality, one thing will remain the same, there will be divorce. But when it comes time to go our LGBT separate ways, will there be the same legal battle and options that straight married couples would have when divorce is the only solution?
What are the reasons people seek a divorce? In all polls seen about the reasons for divorce, adultery / cheating is always the main category. What is interesting is that only 20 states classify adultery as an illegal act. (Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Rhode Island). - divorcefamilylaw.com
What may be confusing is the definition of adultery. Here is a case from the UK.
But that is UK law, we cannot have the same concern here correct? Each state in America has their own divorce laws, definitions, and allowances. Some are as unchanged as the UK, while others have made alterations.
