Re: Tennessee laws regarding divorce and remarrying

I am not aware of any law that requires a 30-day waiting period, although the office that issues marriage licenses (your county clerk) could answer that question. Apart from any law, you need to exercise some common sense here. You have just come out of a divorce. What is the hurry to get married again? Are you not aware that 50% of marriages end in divorce? Even though you think you are doing the right thing now, I recommend you take a little time to get over your divorce so that you do not make the mistake of "marrying on the rebound."
