Let's say a couple gets married in Florida in April but one person's prior marriage has not been given the final order disolving their previous marriage by the judge until December is the new marriage void or not legally recognized?

Ouch, first you have to get divorced then you can get married the second time. If someone gets married the second time before the divorce is final then they're a bigamist and in big trouble with the law.

Getting remarried in the previous the 1st marriage is legally ended is talked approximately as bigamy and is a criminal offense. through fact that she became into not legally loose yet to marry, the 2d marriage is unlawful and void from it somewhat is inception. besides the undeniable fact that, bigamy isn't often prosecuted as a criminal offense as quickly as the obstacle to the 2d marriage is bumped off (to that end the main suitable decree is issued from the 1st marriage). she will have the skill to might desire to remarry next to the date of the main suitable decree of divorcement from the 1st marriage to ensure that the 2d marriage to be thoroughly legal.

It is not a legal marriage, and somebody is a bigamist.
