Same Sex Marriage Divorce In Alabama - Nope

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A Madison County Circuit judge has dismissed a divorce request filed by a Madison County same-sex couple, citing Alabama law that does not recognize same-sex marriage, or same-sex marriages performed in other states.

Karen Hall, the circuit's presiding judge, entered the one-sentence order late this morning, saying the divorce petition - which was filed last week -- does not contain any claims where relief can be granted, "pursuant to the laws of this state."

Michelle Richmond and Kirsten Allysse Richmond were seeking an uncontested divorce. They have no children and included a notice to the court outlining the division of their property. According to the recorder's office in Dubuque, Iowa, the couple married in Dubuque on Nov. 2, 2012.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in Iowa in 2009. But Alabama is not one of the 17 states that recognize the marriages as valid.
