In Vermont, you would file a petition for divorce, but there is a one-year residency requirement. In Florida, the state does not recognize civil unions, not even for the purpose of divorce. In California, the civil union is valid and the partner who lives in California should be able to dissolve the Vermont civil union in a California state court by filing a petition for divorce.
California still does recognize same-sex marriages, although since Proposition 8, no new marriage licenses may be issued to same-sex couples. A ruling from the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of Proposition 8 is imminent and experts predict it will be struck down sometime between November 26, 2012 and June 30, 2013. It is not necessary, however, for Proposition 8 to be struck down in order to obtain a same-sex divorce in California.
Yes. To the extent that a Vermont civil union is recognized as a marriage under Maryland state law, if you meet all the requirements for divorce (residency, etc.), the state of Maryland will grant you a divorce from your same-sex partner in a civil union and that divorce will be recognized in Vermont as well.
A civil union can only be dissolved by divorce proceedings. Vermont has a one-year residency requirement for divorce. However, both New Hampshire and Massachusetts recognize a Vermont civil union as a legal marriage. Therefore, either spouse can file for divorce in either NH or MA.
A partnership does not automatically dissolve if a partner is deemed incompetent. The partnership documents should state the procedure if one partner becomes incapacitated for any reason, which would include incompetency.
nope soz
No. Although there can be no new civil unions in Vermont, existing ones are still valid. You can remain partners in civil union and receive rights and privileges identical to legal marriage, yet your relationship is not a legal marriage unless you actually legally marry your same-sex partner which you can now do in Vermont.
hmmm
No. Some insurance companies offer domestic partner coverage in Florida and you are free to purchase such a policy. If your employer wants to buy coverage for you and your domestic partner, then it can. The state of Florida will not stop you. It may impose income tax on the value of the domestic partner coverage as "imputed income."
Yes. They can get it from an employer, if the employer voluntarily offers domestic partner benefits.
