Thomas Beatie, center, and his girlfriend Amber Nicholas, listen as attorney David Michael Cantor speaks Tuesday, April 2, 2013, in Phoenix. Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas Gerlach ruled, March 29, 2013, that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevents Thomas Beatie's 9-year union from being recognized as valid. Beatie was born a woman and later underwent a double-mastectomy, and began testosterone hormone therapy and psychological treatment to become a man, but he retained female reproductive organs and gave birth to three children. Gerlach said he had no jurisdiction to approve a divorce because there's insufficient evidence that Beatie was a man when he married Nancy Beatie in Hawaii. (AP Photo/Matt York)

FILE - In this Dec. 13, 2012 file photo, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan lights a menorah before speaking at the 6th & I Historic Synagogue in Washington. With their Ivy League pedigrees and East Coast addresses, Supreme Court justices often are rightly described as unrepresentative of the nation. But in one area, the justices look a lot like the rest of America. Members of the court have first-hand experience with divorce and adoption, as well as making it alone without ever getting married. Just five of the nine justices have been married once and have had biological children with their spouses. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)
