Remarriage After Divorce

Posted on January 22, 2008 by J. Benjamin Stevens

Question:  How long do I have to wait after my divorce before I can legally remarry?

Answer:  There is no mandatory waiting period in South Carolina that one must wait after a divorce, so as soon as you are legally divorced, you are able to remarry.  However, it is very important to note that you are not actually divorced until the Judge signs the Divorce Decree, which does not necessarily take place at the final hearing.

my question is: if the divorce was in texas, and they have a 30-day grace before getting remarried, does that apply if one wants to be remarried in south carolina? note: they have provisions for a waiver to remarry in their laws.

I am planning to remarry and I was just wondering if his ex wife can get more money in child support because of my income? We live in las Vegas NV
