A Texas appeals court ruled Friday that state attorney general Greg Abbott
cannot block the divorce of two women who married out-of-state.
The two women, Angelique Naylor and Sabina Daly, were married in
Massachusetts in 2004 but returned to Texas, where same-sex marriage is
banned under a constitutional amendment passed in 2005. A district judge
granted the couple a divorce in 2009, the Austin American-Statesmanreports.
“This case ... is not a suit to declare a statute unconstitutional or
enjoin its enforcement, but a private divorce proceeding involving issues of
property division and child custody,” the appellate court ruled in an
opinion written by Justice Diane Henson.
Of the ruling, a spokeswoman for the attorney general said in a statement,
“The Texas Constitution and statutes are clear: only the union of a man and
a woman can be treated as a marriage in Texas. The court’s decision
undermines unambiguous Texas law.” | g********d

Texas AG Can't Appeal Gay Divorce

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott X390 (JANA BIRCHUM/AUSTIN CHRONICLE) |
ADVOCATE.COM
Texas attorney general Greg Abbott will not be allowed to intervene in a
same-sex divorce case because he only sought to become involved after a
district court judge ruled on the case.
A three-judge panel of the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin, Texas ruled
Friday that Abbott can not get involved in the case of Angelique Naylor and
Sabina Daly, a lesbian couple attempting to divorce in Travis County,
according to the Austin American-Statesman. They wed in Massachusetts in
2004, and then adopted a son who is now 5 years-old.
District judge Scott Jenkins ruled they could divorce in February 2009. The
panel wrote that Abbott could only get involved if the lawsuit was intended
to declare a statute unconstitutional or if he were to voice and
encouragement to enforce a certain law, but not "a private divorce
proceeding involving property division and child custody." |
