If I have entered into a New Jersey civil union with my partner, but
now we are Pennsylvania residents, can we get a Pennsylvania divorce?
In limited circumstances when both parties are in complete agreement
Pennsylvania courts have dissolved same-sex marriages and civil unions
but when there is not complete agreement the parties are not allowed
to use Pennsylvania courts. To get your divorce you have to return to
New Jersey, or whatever state created your same-sex marriage, civil
union or domestic partnership, become a resident then file for divorce
or dissolution. This is a changing area of the law, so don’t be surprised if in 2012 or sometime soon after this answer changes.
