DENVER—Colorado’s first recognized same-sex divorce is final.

Supporters of the new Colorado law say the court ruling sets a precedent for gay couples married in other states who want to legally terminate their relationships here without uprooting their lives.

Juli Yim and Lorelei Jones wed in Massachusetts in 2009, where same-sex marriage is legal.

Yim tells the Fort Collins Coloradoan ( http://tinyurl.com/nzqoxwd) the relationship went sour and she found a new partner in Colorado.
