Is it a domestic partnership or a marriage? All marriages performed in California prior to the enactment of Prop 8 are still valid marriages. If you were married in California but now live in Illinois and have done so for the past 90 days, or will have lived in Illinois for 90 days at the time a judgment is entered, then you can file here. You could also file in California if your spouse still lives there.
