Full question:
My ex currently lives in Nebraska and has recently filed divorce. I currently live in Ca. I'm not planning on contesting the divorce. It's pretty straight forward since there are no kids, no assets, and no real debt. Am wondering since I live in Ca and he lives in Nebraska what is the amount of time I have to wait once the divorce is final in order to remarry. I have read and been told it is 6 months till I can remarry since the divorce is being done in Nebraska. But since I don't live in Nebraska does that still apply to me?

Answer:
Under Nebraska law, the waiting period for remarriage is six months after the divorce decree is finalized. This rule applies regardless of where you live. Since your divorce is being processed in Nebraska, you must adhere to Nebraska's regulations on remarriage.
The relevant statute states that a divorce decree becomes final and operative six months after it is entered, specifically for the purpose of remarriage (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-372.01). Therefore, you will need to wait six months after the divorce is finalized in Nebraska before you can legally remarry.
