I think you are in the wrong category. This is immigration. You should find a lawyer who deal with military issues.

You have not made clear how your question relates to immigration. If one of you is a non-US national, I recommend consulting with an LGBT-friendly immigration attorney about the impact of canadian marriage on the non-US citizen's immigration status now and in the future. I consult frequently with same-sex couples trying to figure out a long-term strategy to remain together. Please feel free to contact me for a consultation. I strongly advise consulting with an immigration attorney before filing any papers with immigration, particularly if the person for whom you are filing has any past negative immigration or criminal history and is in the United States. There is always a risk of removal from the United States. Good luck to you both.
