Same-sex divorce
<p>In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obergefell_v._Hodges" rel="noreferrer">Obergefell v. Hodges</a>, the Supreme Court held that there was a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.  Does this automatically extend to divorce, or is it possible that the Supreme Court will need to rule on a case in the future where a state refused to grant a same-sex couple a divorce because state divorce law only covers opposite-sex couples?</p>

<p>The court said in Obergefell (emphasis mine):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Under the Constitution, same-sex couples seek in marriage <em>the same legal treatment as opposite-sex couples</em>, and it would disparage their choices and diminish their personhood to deny them this right.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If same-sex couples are to be given in marriage the "same legal treatment" as opposite-sex couples, the divorce process must also be the same.</p>
