I don’t know much about marriage laws but I do know there is some mess to the process and divorce can be a complicated matter. I am wondering if things have been updated at all since same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide in the US. I am having trouble finding information on it.

Like what kind of new laws? The sad truth, is that some states still have same-sex marriage banned in their laws, but since the US legalized it, those bans no longer stand. I believe some states still list these bans.
Soon enough, I imagine most states would remove the language outright.

Do you mean laws dealing with rights to property, wills, and life insurance issues? I would imagine some of it has been changes for most states but not all of it has been adjusted and there are likely loopholes states use against same-sex couples even now. I think this is an issue the LGBT group should look into and bring awareness to because our government is very stubborn when it comes to changing anything.
