Is it possible to bifurcate or something that would give us approval to marry even though it appears his ex will keep appeals going?

You don't provide enough information to explain why you think the ongoing appeals prevent your fiance. from remarrying or what state granted the divorce. In most states the divorce means he is no longer married and is therefore free to remarry. It would be unusual for any state to have a period longer than one year to prevent remarriage and there is no time limit even if there is an appeal pending.

I would have to look at the paperwork to be sure, however, if there is a final judgment of divorce in place which it sounds like there is, you are able to be married now.

Yes. Bifurcation is available. Your boyfriend needs to have his attorney file a motion for bifurcation. There are several issues related to this motion so it will require attorney assistance. Good luck

You could bifurcate but there are rules that have to be followed pensions divided etc so see an attorney It's an extra expense in a divorce and ex can try to stop you but if you follow the rules you should succeed

If he received a final judgment entry decree of divorce, then he is divorced and may get married. The appeals seem to go to the property division.

Appealing decisions in divorce situations obviously does happen. This is unusual in all but cases where there is a very large estate. That is obviously the case here. Sometimes divorce is a waiting game. It is not like corporate litigation that can take many years with almost unlimited resources. Corporations go on forever; people do not. Typically one divorcing party or the other decides (correctly) that life is too short and seeks a settlement. Your fiance's soon-to-be-ex seems determined to inflict as much pain as possible along the way to try to get your fiance to toss in the towel. There are two ways to conclude an appeal. First you can let it run its course. That means going to the Court of Appeals then the Supreme Court. It would be unusual to go Federal after that, as the issue is almost certainly state specific. But if Constitutional rights can be identified you could be looking at two or three trials in the Federal system. Or you can look at how much money is at stake and try to settle the issue with a private agreement. Obviously the soon-to-be-ex doesn't like something. Maybe the issue is negotiable. Get with your family law attorney. At the level of this divorce, he or she is probably very experienced in the field. Ask the lawyer about finding a final settlement and getting on with life. The pill to settlement may be too bitter to swallow, but it never hurts to ask.
