More details to this question:
I must wait 6 months after my divorce is finalized to remarry, but can I travel to a different state and remarry in that state if I wanted to get married again before my 6 months was up?

It is not adviseable to do it. You could get married elsewhere, but if you are coming back to Oklahoma, it would not be a valid marriage. However, once the 6 months are up, the new "marriage" could ripen into a common law marriage, if it meets all the other requirements for such a finding. It is just not adviseable to marry before the 6 months are up, particularly if you are planning to keep your home in Oklahoma.

It happens all the time. There is some risk involved, but it doesn't tend to deter folks from crossing into one of several states which border OK.
