How soon can parties remarry after a divorce?
• In Nebraska, for purposes of remarriage, other than remarriage of the parties, a decree dissolving marriage becomes final and operative six months after the decree was rendered or upon the death of one of the parties, whichever comes first (§42-372.01). Neither applicant would be able to apply for a marriage license before the six month waiting period is over, therefore, they would have to wait exactly six months and apply one day after the waiting period is over. The applicants will be required to submit the date the previous marriage ended.
