Once the final divorce decree is issued by the court, the marriage is legally terminated and a new marriage may be entered into. There is no post-divorce decree waiting period in Arizona. Note, however, that unless there is a provision in the divorce decree stating otherwise, a remarriage will terminate any spousal maintenance, or alimony.
