CA marriage and VT civil union, gay marriage rights

Gay marriage: As a same-sex couple living in Washington state, we'd like to travel to California to take advantage of the recent Supreme Court ruling there authorizing marriage among same-sex couples. We understand there is no California residency requirement to get married there, but there is a residency requirement to get divorced. We're clearly worried about any ensuing legal limbo this may result in if our 11-year union dissolves. Also, we did enter into a Vermont civil union a number of years ago. Vermont also has no residency requirement for the civil unions, but it does have a residency requirement for dissolving it. My questions: (1) Will the California marriage supersede the Vermont civil union? (2) Will the California marriage create any potential legal limbo greater than what we have already incurred from the Vermont civil union? Thanks for your review and thoughts on this situation! - Is this your question? Add additional information
