What if I want to gay-marry Jamie Pedersen? Do I have to file that paperwork before his Domestic Partnership to another man is automatically converted?
How do I keep Washington from "converting" my DP if I'm already married in CA? I only bothered to DP here because the marriage wasn't recognized then. Should I dissolve the Washington DP? Or?
We are planning on getting married in December by one of the many judges in Seattle. Does the Stranger have any recommendations for judges that have supported the LGBT community?

SteSeattle: Judge William Downing of the King County Superior Court wrote the opinion striking down Washington's DOMA as unconstitutional. Unfortunately, the state supreme court disagreed with him and upheld DOMA, but give Judge Downing some props for reaching the right decision in the first place.
sweet g: Domestic partnerships for people over 62 (including those of the opposite sex) were created for people who don't want to get married because of the property and estate planning implications (Washington is a community property state) but still want their relationship recognized by the State and still want to enjoy some legal protections for that relationship. Converting those domestic partnerships to marriages automatically would defeat the purpose for which they were created. But if an older same-sex couple WANTS to get married, there is nothing stopping them now.

What to do? I suspect I don't want WA converting the DP. Will they look at California marriages - or do I need to take action?
Oops, forgot about living minor children.
