Las Vegas family attorney Anthony M. Wright posted an article on his Las Vegas family law blog that states that one Las Vegas family law judge is recognizing the constitutional rights of married same sex couples to get divorced in Las Vegas. He mentions that Las Vegas divorce lawyer Louis Schneider brought the case to resolution. Upon reviewing Mr. Schneider's blog, I note that his article regarding the matter states that the judge relied on the privileges and immunities clause of the United States Constitution.
Upon further investigation into the case, it appears the case involved a couple who were married in California while California allowed same sex marriages. The case also involved property distribution but nothing regarding child custody.
It is not surprising that judges are upholding the US Constitution on this issue. What is surprising is that Las Vegas may divorce gay couples, but not marry them.
This ruling may begin a trend towards mainstreaming gay rights in Nevada.
