another question on re-marriage laws

[Meshell]

On Jan 6, I posted a question regarding remarriage laws regarding Wisconsin and Washington. In your reply you stated that as long as I was not a resident of Wisconsin and not planning to run there to get married those laws did not pertain to me. As long as I had the actual divorce paperwork in hand I was free to remarry as per Washington waiting periods.

During the hearing the judge stated that she had to advise both parties that neither could remarry anywhere in the "world" for six months. I stated that Wisconsin laws did not apply to me because I was not a resident. Then I was sent an admonishment to sign which stated I would notify the court of address and job changes for child support and again stated the six month waiting period. I crossed it off and wrote over it that it did not apply to me and signed and returned the paper.

I just want to confirm that all is well with me remarrying next weekend. If my ex were to get nasty and contest it, would there be a problem because I did not follow the six months? One lawyer from WA has given me the same advise you had previously but was not as sure. Just said that it would be unlikely that WI would care and do anything about it, even if the ex brought it to there attention. Again my biggest fear is in 10 years this marriage becomes void.

Please assure me with confirmation that Wisconsin laws do not apply to me, this will make me feel more confident that my decision is the right one.

Thank you

NE has the same stipulation about remarriage as WI. Neither party can marry ANYONE, ANYWHERE for 6 months from the date the divorce is granted. The divorce action is not final until 6 months after it is granted.

well if your already married, and the 6 mo has not passed, when its over the go to the JP pay what 25.00 and go get remarried,.... that will assure your 10 years will not be void...

Hmmm....Well now see you are going against the judges direct orders (contempt of court). I mean if you are going to say it doesn't apply because you don't live there, then you could say the same thing about c/s because you don't live there either and therefore don't have to follow their guidelines.

In texas we have a 30 day waiting period... but you can contact your vital statistics at the court house and get a waiver for the judge to sign to waive the 30 day waiting... have you checked to see if your state will waive the waiting period??
