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!
