The Article will first discuss the interstate recognition of marriages and divorces in general, then the patchwork quilt of same-sex marriage laws in the United States, followed by a discussion on seeking a legal exit from a same-sex marriage in a state that does not recognize that marriage, and finally, suggest a path which will allow a court in the latter state to grant relief without violating the letter or spirit of state provisions barring recognition of same-sex marriage.
