- Date:
- State: Texas
Answer:
In Texas, a party to divorce shall not remarry before the 31st day after the date the divorce is decreed. But there is no such restriction on the remarriage between former spouses. So a divorced husband and wife can marry each other at any time. It is envisaged in Tex. Fam. Code § 6.801 which reads as:“(a) Except as otherwise provided by this subchapter, neither party to a divorce may marry a third party before the 31st day after the date the divorce is decreed.
(b) The former spouses may marry each other at any time.”
