Well, of course not, homosexual couples can't be married in Alabama, so they obviously can't get a divorce if they aren't married! The minor fact that they got married in another state where such marriages ARE legal doesn't mean the marriage survived the move across state lines.
The fact remains, if you are not legally married, you can't legally get a divorce!
Then again, since they are not legally married, seems to me all they have to do is split the sheets (divvy up the goods they accumulated since 2012) and walk away. They don't really NEED a divorce, since they really are not married in the eyes of Alabama law!
So, what, exactly, is the problem?

Wait for a decade once the family courts and harsh state sponsored family law enters into the lives of divorcing same sex couples. They will come to the realization that marriage in general might not have been such a good idea.

The problem is that their marriage is recognized by the Federal government and they cannot just separate as if they are just shacking up, they would have to get a divorce to dissolve their union. Same deal here in California before same sex marriage was legal and gays only had the option of domestic partnerships, those domestic partnerships would still have had to go through divorce proceedings as if it was a marriage. Alabama may not recongize their marriage, but their marriage is still legal on the Federal level for taxes and those 1049 Federal marriage rights, protections and benefits.

A piece of paper keeps them from being free.
There is a bigger piece of paper, that says they have always been free.
They will need to get a divorce in a state that recognizes it I think. Not doing so could create big problems if the women wanted to marry other people in their lives.

Yes, but you usually have to get a divorce where you live.

Before no-contest divorces were the norm in most states people used to go to Nevada all the time to get a quickie divorce. If the state has to recognize an out if state marriage, why not an out of state divorce, if both parties agree to it?
