Same Sex Divorces
Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, known as the “Full Faith and Credit Clause” states:
“Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.”
Based on this constitutional provision, the Texas courts now perform divorces for same-sex couples. For more information, call us at (281) 583-0055
