Same Sex Marriage: What it Means for Texas Family Law
Politics aside, there is no doubt that we have witnessed history in the making. On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court changed the standard notion of marriage forever when it ruled that same sex-marriage is legal in all 50 states .
Same-sex couples began to obtain marriage licenses in some areas of the state with in hours of the ruling. Despite the high court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges , much of Texas (and many Texas citizens) still does not embrace the idea of same-sex marriage. The crux of the issue appears to be whether an official can refuse to perform a ceremony or issue a license based upon sincerely held religious beliefs. Good question.
