In a packed courtroom, Dallas’ 5th Court of Appeals heard arguments in In the Matter of the Marriage of J.B. and H.B. on April 21, a same-sex divorce case in which the Texas Office of the Attorney General has filed an interlocutory appeal.
The controversial case began on Jan. 21, 2009, when J.B. filed his original petition for divorce. Attached to the petition was a certificate of marriage from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, showing that J.B. and H.B. married in 2006. J.B. alleges in his original petition that “the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities” between J.B. and H.B.
