What does the divorce decree say? How much does it say your X has to pay? A Judge has the authority to divide community property pretty much any way he wants to, including ordering one party to pay money to the other. In other words, yes, this is legal.

Yes, there is a requirement that one wait 30 days after a divorce is final before one gets remarried. The only exception to this is if you have a provision in the decree that says otherwise � it can say that the prohibition against remarriage is waived. Is there some special reason that you object to your X getting remarried so quickly?
