A: After any court hearing, there is a 30 day time period within which either party could (1) file an appeal, or (2) file a post hearing motion to alter or amend ( sometimes called a motion to re-consider). If either of these occur, the court's decision is not "final" ( and this word final has a legal meaning). However, if it was an agreed or uncontested divorce, there's likely no reason for either to appeal. you should consult your divorce lawyer for advice on whether it is safe to remarry under your particular circumstances.
