If you are in the process of getting a divorce can you get married in the meantime or do you have to wait until the process is over with? I think you have to wait. How long does the average divorce take anyways?

You better have a final divorce decree in hand before reappearing before the altar or its bigamy. A divorce could take anywhere from 6months to years depending on court backlog and whether the divorce is contested or not. lots of variables in divorces control the time table, but once the divorce judgement is rendered, then it usually takes about 30 days to be registered in the dept of records and become final then

Yes, it has to be finished before marrying someone else. A typical divorce with NO arguments can be over within 2 weeks to a month. All you have to do is sign the papers & go in front of the judge. If there's disagreements or problems with custody of the children it can take a lot longer.

You can not legally remarry until after your divorce is final. In most states you also have a waiting peroid of about 3 months. A divorce can be quick if both parties agree to it. In these cases, is just as long as it takes to been reviewed by a judge. But in most cases, one party either refuses to sign, or in cases of infidelity, or if there are children involved they can take much longer.

It's illegal to remarry when you are married. It is called a bigot.
The length of the divorce will be however long it takes for both parties to come into agreement on the divorce. i.e. signing the divorce parties. Laws vary from state to state.

She will have to wait ... a person can't be married to more than one person at a time unless she is a mormon, that is illegal. The divorce process can vary wheather there are children involved or property.

You have to wait till the divorce is final be for marrying someone else. You would be commiting bigamy if you marry two people at once.

The law says wait till your divorce is final before you take the plunge again. If you remarry before the divorce is done your breaking the law.

you cant marry till the whole process is done, because if you do it would be like haveing to marriges. and the process depends on the state and there is no such limit to how long it can take. but diffrent states got diffrent laws it will be better if your friends as a lawyer or something.
