Once the date has passed that the Judgment became final, you are a single person and entitled to remarry. Just be sure that you know when that date is to avoid invalidating your second marriage by marrying too soon.

You need to have a copy of your final decree in divorce to get legally married.

You can remarry as soon as you see a document entitled Notice of Entry of Judgment which will show the true date your divorce is final. If you don't have that document, go to the court and get a copy of it. Good luck.

If you are in Florida, there is no waiting period. Just be certain that your divorce is final and the Judge has signed the final decree of divorce closing the case before you get remarried.

I suppose you could get married today. It might be a good idea to wait for the appeal period to lapse (42 days in Idaho), but if both people wanted to be divorced, that really shouldn't matter.

Generally court orders are at least date stamped, sometimes time and date stamped. In your particular case if the divorce judgment has been finalized and actually entered by the court you are divorced and therefore able to remarry now.

The laws on remarriage are different in each state. In Nebraska it is 6 months.

There is no formal waiting period in Florida but I would make sure your judgment is recorded and time to appeal has passed before you remarry.
