What is a divorce nisi?
According to mass.gov the divorce nisi is the time between when a judge grants your divorce and when the divorce becomes final. For a type 1A or no fault divorce the standard period of time is 120 days. For the less common type 1B divorce, also known as a fault divorce, the standard nisi period is 90 days after the hearing. Our team of family lawyers located in Westborough and Hanover, Massachusetts deals with difficult divorces every day.
Can I get remarried during the nisi period?
No. In Massachusetts, you are still legally married until the nisi period has ended. This means that you cannot remarry during the nisi period of your divorce. After the nisi period has ended, assuming that all necessary paperwork has been filled and requirements have been met, you will be free to marry again but until that date, you are considered married in the eyes of the law.
