Gays married legally elsewhere moving to Puna

[Rob L]

Andy, I can't be your lawyer on this forum, but the judge's advice was not correct. It used to be that you had to dissolve a reciprocal beneficiary relationship before you could enter into a Civil Union. The judge may have been thinking of that. But, even that is on longer the case. Your California marriage is automatically accorded the status of a Civil Union in Hawaii. Check Hawaii Revised Statues 572B and/or call Equality Hawaii. Once again, I am not your lawyer, but you are Civil Unioned in Hawaii (whether you like it or not.)


Aloha,
Rob L
