The government shouldn’t stand in the way of who we love

This divorce dissolved my July 2000 Vermont Civil Union. As soon as it was final, my current husband and I went to Vermont where we entered into a full-fledged marriage, which is no available there.

Sorry for the typo. Vermont no longer issues civil unions. Instead, it issues marriages without regard to the gender of the parties thereto.

I should clarify that Kings County (New York) is better known as Brooklyn.

My ex-husband and I were granted a same-sex divorce in Kings County Supreme Court last year. It was uncontested and I handled it myself (pro se). It took over a year, since it was based on the conversion of a one-year separation agreement. The law has since changed and you should be able to get a quicker no-fault same-sex divorce if both husbands agree on financial issues.
