Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

Re: Alabama Divorce Law

Once the judge signs the divorce, the parties must wait at least 60 days before they can remarry as long as neither of them appeals the divorce order. If either of them files an appeal, then neither of them can remarry until the appeal is resolved.

Alabama Code Section 30-2-10 states as follows:

Sixty-day restriction on remarriage of parties after grant of divorce or pending appeal of divorce.

When a judgment has been entered granting a divorce in this state, the court shall order that neither party shall again marry, except to each other, until 60 days after the judgment is entered, and that if an appeal is taken within 60 days, neither party shall again marry, except to each other, during the pendency of said appeal.
