Will New Jersey Ruling Set Precedent for the Nation?

A New Jersey Judge handed down her decision in the case of the gay couple married in Canada who wanted to divorce in NJ.

The case has gained national attention because many states are unwilling to acknowledge gay marriage, so they won't consider gay marriage. The worry is that if they acknowledge the divorce, it will look as though they're legitimizing the marriage.

Last week, Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson, said that a same sex couple that was married in Canada could divorce in New Jersey. This could affect the way other states handle gay divorce.
