Starting a new romantic relationship after divorce can be difficult for many people. Sure, they could see themselves dating again or perhaps even getting married someday—but it’s certainly not on their radar right now. Some may even choose not to enter into a new relationship for several years after divorce, insisting they are not ready for such a commitment and need to create a new life for themselves and their children first. That said, this isn’t the case for everyone.
Some people may focus on finding love as quickly as possible after divorce. In some situations, they may strongly consider getting married almost immediately after the ink dries on their divorce decree. But is that possible?
While no one will say you can’t get married again after divorce, there are indeed certain restrictions on marriage after divorce in Texas.
What Are the Restrictions For Getting Married Again Right After Divorce?
How quickly you can get married again after divorce depends on what state you live in. In Texas, there is a 30-day waiting period between when one marriage ends and another begins. So, if your divorce wasn’t finalized until two weeks ago, and you’ve already decided to marry someone else, you must wait 30 days. There are only a handful of exceptions to this rule:
- Remarrying your spouse — If you choose to reconcile with your now former spouse, you can get married sooner.
- Serious health issues — If an urgent surgery is on the horizon before the waiting period ends, you could earn an exception.
- Military service — In many cases, couples choose to marry before one spouse is deployed for military service or reassigned to serve overseas. If this situation arises, and the 30-day waiting period hasn’t ended, you could remarry sooner.
