The divorce takes place where the parties are domicile which means that it would have to be done in Missouri. If you read into some Family Law, Missouri recognizes marriages that are performed in other states and I don't believe that there is any case law on this topic so it could possibly change the laws of same-sex marriage in MO.

I like how everyone wants to jump on the Civil Rights bandwagon when it comes to something like race or ethnicity but its okay for most of the country to vote to take Civil Rights away when it comes to sexual orientation. Way to go USA!
Missouri law recognizes all marriages from other states whether or not they can be performed here or not. This is why there is a problem as same-sex marriage is "illegal" in the state of Missouri. So under the law, their marriage would be considered valid. It will be interesting to see if this case will change the law in Missouri.
