: GN 00305.165 - Summary of State Laws on Divorce and Remarriage - 05/10/2001
Effective 3/1/79, there are no restrictions against remarriage following a divorce decree. A divorce decree is now final for all purposes when it is entered. This rule is subject to two exceptions: (1) If it has been contested in the divorce proceedings that the marriage is irretrievably broken (effective 3/1/79, this is the single ground for divorce), neither party may remarry before the time for appeal has expired. The appeal period is ninety days following entry of the decree. If the divorce proceeding is uncontested as to the grounds for divorce, either party may remarry before the time for appeal has expired. (2) If either party appeals the divorce decree on the ground that the other party is not entitled to a divorce, neither party may remarry pending disposition of the appeal. Unless there is evidence in file to the contrary, assume that neither of the exceptions applies and that both parties were free to marry before the expiration of the appeal period. A remarriage entered int ... [Read More]

The Supreme Court of Illinois has held that the right to support willsurvive an ex parte foreign divorce and that such an ex parte divorcedecree will not automatically terminate the separate maintenance decree. Pope v. Pope , 117 N.E. 2d 65 (Ill., 1954). (See also Schwarz v. Schwarz , 188 N.E. 2d-673, 677 (Ill., 1963).)The effect of the divorce decree was to en able the parties to contracta new marriage. It did not necessarily relieve them of all obligationsof the former marriage. In the Pope case, the wife hadfiled a petition to recover past due support payments based on asupport order which had been entered by an Illinois court. Subsequentlyto the support decree, the husband had obtained a default divorce decreein another State. The wife was there held entitled to recover thesupport payments due under the Illinois support order even though herhusband had secured an ex parte divorce after entry of the supportorder. It seem clear, therefore, that under Illinois law, under thecircumst ... [Read More]

Accordingly, the divorce based on jurisdiction obtained bypublication is void and of no effect in determining X's statusfor social security purposes. Further, a nunc pro tunc order which later substituted the correct name of the defendantfor the "misnomer" has no effect on the failure in the firstinstance to obtain proper service by publication and the divorcedecree continues to be void for lack of jurisdiction and of noeffect in determining the marital status of X. The divorcedecree obtained by R in October 1946 was invalid as to X, and hismarriage to W in 1947 was void. Therefore, it is held that under Illinois law, X is the legal wife of R and entitled towife's insurance benefits, all other requirements being met. W'sapplication must be disallowed. ... [Read More]

Davis. The June 15,1938 decree of "divorce from bed and board" or a divorce a mensa et thoro is granted at the discretion of the courtand is clearly not considered to be a final and absolute divorce(section 36-802 T.C.A.). In 1963 the divorce statute ofTennessee was amended so as to allow either party to a "divorcefrom bed and board" to petition for an absolute divorce after twoyears. Novella Davis also testified that to her knowledge thedeceased, Henry R. Davis, did not avail himself of this right andthat she was never summoned to appear for any action institutedby Henry R. Davis. ... [Read More]
