- poulsbohemian 8y agoYes! That's why I think our legal situation in Washington state is such a mess. I found at least 8 cases in my own divorce where the law was just plain stupid and harmful. I'm glad that homosexuals can now marry, but when that law went into effect, it also broke the existing domestic partnership laws and created a huge grey area. My lady friend and I are forming an implicit partnership, but we have no legal way to formalize it - and as you point out, if something were to go sideways in the future, you can be held accountable as though it were "legal" but without there being codified law making the rules-of-the-game clear.
