Next month, the Texas Supreme Court will consider two separate cases of estranged same-sex spouses who married in Massachusetts and want to get divorced in Texas. This blog post notes: "Currently, it is unclear what the decisions of the Texas Supreme Court are likely to be. More than anything else, these upcoming decisions reflect the changing landscape of family law in the U.S. As of now, just over a quarter of the U.S. population lives in jurisdictions that have legalized same-sex marriage. As one of the fastest growing states in the U.S., it is important for Texas law to articulate its approach to these sorts of issues. Indeed, questions regarding same-sex marriage and divorce are likely to become more common throughout the country."
