Remarrying in Oklahoma: What You Need to Know
Once a divorce has been finalized and the judge has signed off on the final decree, many individuals wonder if they are free to remarry. In the state of Oklahoma, there is a minimum six-month waiting period before you can remarry. This waiting period is in place to allow time for any potential appeals or disputes to be resolved before moving forward with a new marriage.
It’s important to note that the only exception to the six-month waiting period is if you wish to remarry your former spouse. In this case, you are allowed to do so prior to the expiration of the waiting period. However, if you are looking to marry someone other than your former spouse, you must wait the full six months before doing so.
