The Divorce Blog has reported that a same-sex couple, wed in Massachusetts, can divorce in New York.
This is consistent with New York’s evolving policy of recognizing same sex marriages entered into outside of the State of New York.
While New York will recognize a same sex marriage lawfully performed in a jurisdiction other than New York, same sex couples cannot wed in New York.
