Judges are allowed to toss out frivolous lawsuits though....I would see many judges doing so for people attempting to do as your friend suggested. Remember the law rarely sides on the side of compassion.
Well they can't just toss them out as frivolous if people are legally married in one state, move to another state, establish legal residency and then show a genuine loss or inequity. Only those schlocky, ultra conservative supreme court justices can get away with that, as they show time and time again.
