Understanding Oklahoma’s Prohibition on Remarriage and Divorce
Does Oklahoma’s prohibition on remarriage begin when the divorce petition is filed? This is a common question that many people have when it comes to getting remarried after a divorce. Specifically, they want to know if the six month prohibition starts from the date the petition is filed. The answer to this question is no.
The start date of the six month prohibition is not the date that you file the request for a divorce with the court. It’s also not the date that you separate from your spouse. The start date is actually the date that the marriage is dissolved by a court order. In other words, it is the date of the decree of dissolution of marriage.
During the six month period following the date of the dissolution of marriage, you are not allowed to remarry in the state of Oklahoma. It’s important to note that this prohibition also applies if you were to remarry out of state and then reside together in Oklahoma. Engaging in such activities would be considered a felony offense of bigamy, although prosecution for this offense is rare.
