The decree absolute was not full and final on the financial side........she already had 88% but still wants more......I have both children..........She still wants to take me to court for a debt she was left with, but gets married tomorrow, so I have been told she can no longer claim. Is this true?!?!?!?

In my opinion, depending on where you are, this could be a potential legal minefield. If the decree is not absolute, she cannot legally marry, ie it's bigamy. If that was the case, and was proved in a court of law, she not only could lose any financial claim, but could also be liable financially herself. You need to be clearer on that.
The kids; we know they're your kids. Is she the mother? If so and she is not looking after them, she SHOULD NOT be entitled to any more money regarding them. If they are not her kids, she cannot have any financial claim on them unless she is a legal guardian of them, or were adopted by her through marriage. Even then, she still has to prove she would be at a loss financially.
The debt; Did you in any way sign your name towards the debt? Either wholly, or jointly? If so on either case, you could be liable for it. If the debt is in her name, then it is her debt, and you should not be in any way liable.
You do always have the right to go for 2nd 3rd 4th 5th opinions, and take the opinion most given to you by those solicitors/lawyers
GOOD LUCK, and hope it works out for ya!

Did you have children? Child support can always be raised or lowered. Alimony usually goes away once the spouse remarries. What do you mean the divorce was not full and final? She can't be remarried if you aren't legally and finally divorced. If you mean that the property settlement isn't finished, then yes, she can still make a claim.

the divorce is not final and she is getting remarried? I take it you're talking about spousal support which as far as I know doesn't have to be paid once the spouse remarries.
If the debt is one she and you both were responsible for you may end up having to pay. Sounds like a real nightmare and it sounds like you are lucky that you are rid of her.

i wouldn't have thought so, if u say it wasn't a full divorce or final basis how is she remarrying that's bigamy? and why wasn't it a full divorce ? a divorce is a divorce ! if i was u id get this seen to and make it a full divorce as for money id tell her to stump up for her kids instead of worrying about herself and remind her that by taking Ur money she's taking from her kids or doesn't she care ( i have a feeling she doesn't)

It all depends on what is in your divorce papers. If you had to pay her alimony, then you should have stipulated until such time as she remarried. Get a lawyer to read your divorce papers and they can normally advise you from there. If it is for maintenance for children (if you have), then you must still pay. You are not very clear with your details. Hope you sort it out.

unless you can prove you have been apart then her chances are about 50%
