Re: waITING PERIOD TO REMARRIE
In Massachusetts, a person can marry immediately after the Decree Absolute issues. This issues 90 days after the Decree Nisi. The Decree Nisi issues day of you divorce or thirty days after approval of the separation agreement if that is how you got divorced. The easist way to know is to go to the court and purchase a decree absolute.
