Does the waiting period for remarriage of Nebraska apply if I live in California?
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:
The statute on waiting period for remarriage provides as follows:
42-372.01.
Decree; when final.
(1) Except for purposes of appeal as prescribed in section 42-372, for purposes of remarriage as prescribed in subsection (2) of this section, and for purposes of continuation of health insurance coverage as prescribed in subsection (3) of this section, a decree dissolving a marriage becomes final and operative thirty days after the decree is entered or on the date of death of one of the parties to the dissolution, whichever occurs first. If the decree becomes final and operative upon the date of death of one of the parties to the dissolution, the decree shall be treated as if it became final and operative the date it was entered.
(2) For purposes of remarriage other than remarriage between the parties, a decree dissolving a marriage becomes final and operative six months after the decree is entered or on the date of death of one of the parties to the dissolution, whichever occurs first. If the decree becomes final and operative upon the date of death of one of the parties to the dissolution, the decree shall be treated as if it became final and operative the date it was entered.
(3) For purposes of continuation of health insurance coverage, a decree dissolving a marriage becomes final and operative six months after the decree is entered.
(4) A decree dissolving a marriage rendered prior to September 9, 1995, which is not final and operative becomes operative pursuant to the provisions of section 42-372 as such section existed immediately preceding September 9, 1995.
