Same sex marriages are allowed and recognized in MA. You would have to get divorced where the parties last lived together, unless you both agreed otherwise in writing. If you have any other questions please call or email.

It depends on the issue of residence, jurisdiction and service.
It seems that if you establish residence in Massachusetts, and you have a valid copy of your marriage certificate, given Massachusetts law, you may be able to begin the process.
