CSGS Presents Oral Argument to the MO Supreme Court on Same-Sex Partner Divorce Action

D.S., in which our client sought a divorce from his same-sex partner, and the St. Louis County Circuit Court dismissed his petition due to lack of constitutional and statutory authority based upon Missouri’s DOMA provisions.
