In most cases the facts in GN 00305.160A. will enable you to determine the validity of a particular remarriage by referring
only to the section in the Summary covering the State where the divorce took place.
The entry for each State describes any provision in the State's divorce laws which
delay the dissolution of a marriage after a judgment of divorce and any restrictions
against remarriage imposed upon the parties after the judgment of divorce.
The validity of a marriage entered into before the marriage ties are dissolved, or
entered into in violation of a restriction against remarriage, is given from the point
of view of:
-
•
the State of divorce when the remarriage was entered into within the same State;
-
•
the State of divorce when the marriage was entered into in another State; and,
-
•
the State outside the State of divorce when the remarriage was entered into outside
the State of divorce.
