Same-sex marriages are now a reality in New York, but a myriad of legal issues remain, not only for couples contemplating marriage in New York and New York residents who have entered into a marriage, civil union or domestic partnership in another state or country, but also for couples who have married in another jurisdiction but reside in New York. There are many open issues as to how or whether certain aspects of New York law will be applied to same-sex couples living in New York, and there are questions regarding the effect of New York same-sex marriages if the spouses seek recognition elsewhere. And for couples who marry in New York or any other jurisdiction where same-sex marriage is authorized, federal laws impose additional roadblocks to full recognition and equal treatment.
