A New Jersey appeals court has affirmed the state's right to a phase-in period before it accepts joint tax returns from same-sex couples. The Appellate Division last week rejected a constitutional challenge by two women who said that they should be able to file a joint return after Oct. 25, 2006, the date the state's high court granted same-sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couples. The appeals court found that the relevant date was Feb. 19, 2007, when the state's Civil Union Act took effect.

The Appellate Division on Thursday rejected a constitutional challenge by two women who said their 2003 Canadian marriage entitled them to full parity with heterosexual married couples — including the right to file a joint return — as of Oct. 25, 2006.
