Petition to Waive Statutory Waiting Period Required for Remarriage After Divorce

Most states don't have a remarriage waiting period after divorce, but some states have a statutory waiting time or allow a judge to create a waiting period for the parties. In some states, both parties must be given time to appeal the divorce decree before you can remarry. Those states that have remarriage waiting periods generally calculate the waiting period from the day the judge approves the divorce decree.
