Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi takes a stand to deny a lesbian couple the right to divorce.

A lesbian couple who married in Canada in 2008 can legally file for divorce in their home state of Wyoming, the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday. Wyoming District Court judge said the court did not have the jurisdiction to dissolve their marriage, but the Wyoming Supreme Court overruled Kautz's decision, placing same-sex marriages on the same level as common-law marriages.

A Texas state appeals court in Dallas rejected a decision by a lower court that a gay couple who legally married in Massachusetts could get divorced in Texas. State District Judge Tena Callahan ruled, in October of 2009, that the couple had the right to legally end the marriage and the state's same-sex marriage ban was a violation of the federal constitutional right to equal protection. The 5th District Court of Appeals in Dallas reversed the decision on Tuesday, and instructed Callahan dismiss the case.

Sandra Bullock has prepared the divorce papers to finally opt out of her marriage to Jesse James. Bullock's five-year marriage went downhill after tattooed stripper and part-time lesbian Michelle "Bombshell" McGee revealed that she and James had been having an affair. James had confessed to having affairs with seven women before entering-and eventually leaving-a sex rehab facility in Arizona. Bullock has a pre-nup agreement that specifies James gets no money should they split due to cheating.

The problem, though, is that the state doesn't recognize their marriage, performed in Iowa in 2009.

Two women are challenging the state's own Defense of Marriage Act by asking for their union to be dissolved.

Jane Lynch and her wife, Dr. Lara Embry, are getting a divorce,

Multi-Grammy winning rocker Melissa Etheridge told Joy Behar “I’m for gay divorce,” on Behar’s Current TV show Joy Behar: Say Anything today.

A San Antonio woman, married to her partner in Massachusetts in 2004, has been granted the state's first gay divorce. The state does not legally recognize marriage between same sex couples.  Attorney General Greg Abott argued that since the couple's marriage was not valid in Texas, neither should be their divorce.

A Pennsylvania judge has refused to divorce two women married last year in Massachusetts because they do not meet the residency required to divorce. Carole Kern and Robin Taney married in Massachusetts because same-sex marriage is not legal in their home state of Pennsylvania. When the couple decided to divorce, they found that Massachusetts had a residency requirement. The couple had only been married four months.

Sandra Bullock is talking to lawyers and may be seeking a divorce. Jesse James is also allegedly looking for an attorney. It sounds like Bullock is going to do the right thing as rumors circulate that she is interviewing divorce lawyers after finding out her hubby was in bed with the tattooed home wrecker Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, who also had alleged lesbian affairs. Bullock has consulted divorce lawyers including Lance Spiegel who has handled divorces for Michael Jackson, Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear. 

A Texas judge has ruled that a same-sex couple has the same rights regarding divorce and custody as heterosexual couples.
