Most states don't have a required waiting period. This means that as soon as your divorce is finalized, you can already get married and this will be considered legal. However, some states do give judges the authority to set waiting periods for parties that are getting divorced. If you get married before the waiting period ends, this means that your marriage is voidable. This doesn't mean that your marriage is automatically void.
Here is a list of states and their required waiting period before you can remarry after the divorce decree has been finalized:
Alabama - 60 days Alaska - None Arizona - None Arkansas - None California - None Colorado - None Connecticut - None Delaware - None District of Columbia - None Florida - None Georgia - None Hawaii - None Idaho - None Illinois - None Indiana - None Iowa - None Kansas - 30 days Kentucky - None Louisiana - None Maine - None Maryland - None Massachusetts - None Michigan - None Minnesota - None Mississippi - None Missouri - None Montana - None Nebraska - 6 months Nevada - None New Hampshire - None New Jersey - None New Mexico - None New York - None North Carolina - None North Dakota - None Ohio - None Oklahoma - 6 months Oregon - None Pennsylvania - None Rhode Island - None South Carolina - None South Dakota - None Tennessee - None Texas - 30 days Utah - None Vermont - None Virginia - None Washington - None West Virginia - None Wisconsin - 6 months Wyoming - None
