Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
I just got divorced in Alabama a few days ago and want to get remarried in Georgia as soon as possible. Is there a waiting period for remarriage after divorce?

No one here has read your divorce decree. You should have, and it will tell you the answer.
Alabama, unlike most states, does sometimes set a waiting period. It is up to the judge. Once a judgment for divorce has been entered, the divorce court has the option of entering an order for each spouse to wait 60 days before remarrying. If an appeal is made withing the 60 days, the parties are only allowed to remarry each other during the pending appeal.
You should know from reading your papers what they say. If they are unclear, call your lawyer.
