I am hoping someone out there can help me. A couple, who resided in PA, entered into a Civil Union in NJ in 2008. They entered into the Civil Union in NJ because PA does not recognize Civil Unions. Fast forward to 2013 and the parties want to dissolve their Civil Union. However, neither party resides in NJ. One resides in PA and the other Arizona. Both states do not recognize Civil Unions. Can the dissolution take place in NJ regardless of the residency issue? It seems to me that since NJ allowed the Civil Union in the first place, despite the residency issue, NJ should allow the dissolution. Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.
