Article on DOMA

Robert L. Moshman (Attorney, New York and New Jersey) has recently published an article entitled, Midsummer’s Madness – 2013 DOMA, No mas, The Estate Analyst (2013). Provided below is the introduction to the article:

Last year at this time, we asked if the Defense of Marriage Act was on the ropes. This year, the Supreme Court answered the question on June 26, and DOMA proponents have had to walk away like ROberto Duran saying ” No mas” against Sugar Ray Leonard in 1980.

DOMA was enacted  by Congress in 1996 to define marriage as the legal union between one man and one women and enable states to disregard or refuse to recognize the validity of same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. Section 3 of DOMA was found to be unconstitutional by a California Bankruptcy court, several District Courts and the Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit.
