Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
I have been legally separated in Utah for 7 years now. I haven't been able to get the papers filed until a few months ago. I received an answer from the judge that my ex and I need to both go through the divorce education class because we have a son. We went through the class about 6 years ago, however, I don't have the paperwork anymore, and I didn't have the money to pay up front when it happened, so I don't know if my name would even be in a roster if they even still had it on file.
First, I don't understand why we should have to take the classes anyway considering the fact that my son wasn't even a year old when we first legally separated and now he's nearly 8.
My big question is, would I be able to get remarried in 3 weeks since the papers have been filed and paid for, or do I have to wait until I actually have the official decree in my hands?
Can anyone tell me if it is possible, or if there's a way I can waive the divorce education considering my circumstances?

You can waive the divorce education class, but it requires the permission of a judge, meaning you need to file a motion and explain to the judge why you should not take it. It would be just as fast to take the class.
You will have to wait until the judge signs the divorce decree to get married.
