    I am in a same sex marriage in California. I was married in the small time frame in California when same sex marriage was allowed (in 2008). My partner and I now want to get a divorce, and we are already separated. We have already agreed on asset division, and we have no children. My question is: according to the California Validity of Marriage law, only a marriage between a man and a woman is recognized. So does that mean that we are not legally married? Does that mean we do not need a legal divorce? Please help. Thank you.

    What the hell? No. It’s called polygamy.. And is not allowed in California or any other states.
