I want to know how long after--name removed--divorce can I remarry and is there a way to waive the cooling down period. I have been seperated almost 7 yrs and this divorce is amiable.

Re: want to get re married
Normally you must wait 30 days AFTER the Judge signs the Final Decree of Divorce.
I usually advise waiting the 30 days because if you remarry before the waiting period is over, and your wife files a Motion for New Trial it could be confusing - and - it would probably really upset your new spouse.
After the 30 day waiting period the court loses jurisdiction over the case and it becomes final.
There is a form to waive the 30 day waiting period. However, the Judge is NOT required to sign it.
Good luck!
