In California, after you file for Dissolution and have the other party served with those papers, you may become divorced no earlier than six months and one day from that point. However, that is the earliest that you are eligible for a divorce and assumes that all necessary paperwork has been completed and you've come to agreements or that you have had your trial. If you are still litigating certain issues (division of assets, division of debts, spousal support, child custody, visitation schedules, child support), and if it has been more than six months, you can also Petition the court by filing certain documents and request a Bifurcated Judgment relating to marital Status only, which will give you a Judgment restoring you to single status only, while continuing the case on all other issues. Once you have a Judgment (whether full or for marital status only), it will list the date on which you are single again and you may remarry anytime thereafter.

You should wait 30 days after the Judgment of Divorce is entered as a Court order. That 30 days counts from the day the court actually enters the Judgment of Divorce into the docket entries and records of your case, and not 30 days from the day you went to court to put your Divorce on the court record. The 30 days from entry of your Divorce Judgment represents the expiration of the 30 day appeal period from any court order.

There is no waiting period in Florida. The hiring of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertising.

You may remarry as soon as your dissolution is final. Be sure that you know that date and remarry only after you are sure that the final date has passed.

Six months from the date the Judge grants the divorce. That means six months from the date of the hearing in which the Judge grants the divorce, not six months from the (later) time when he signs the judgment
