Same Sex Marriage
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 05:53AM The Maryland State Legislature passed a law recognizing same sex marriages performed in other states. The matter was passed by such a close vote, that it is a referendum item on this November's ballot. This legislation is important, because as other states recognize and perform same sex marriages, many of those couples will ultimately reside in this state. Without the legislation, these couples are without the means to divide assets they have acquired during their marriage, except by reference to contract and real estate laws, thus frustrating their intent when they purchased the property. Also, such legislation helps such couples resolve the issues related to their children as co-parents, and not just as one parent and one third party outsider who has no rights. We are hopeful that the referendum, like the legislation, will pass.
