Judge Awards Late Lawyer's Benefits to Lesbian Spouse
Philadelphia Inquirer 
July 30, 2013
"A federal judge in Philadelphia ruled Monday that the lesbian spouse -- and not the parents -- of a deceased city lawyer should receive the proceeds of her firm's profit-sharing plan. U.S. District Judge C. Darnell Jones II said the nearly $49,000 payment that Sarah Ellyn Farley earned at Cozen O'Connor belonged to her spouse as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last month to invalidate the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Farley worked six years at the firm's Chicago office and never in Pennsylvania. She and Jennifer Tobits married in 2006 in Canada and lived in Illinois."
