How Many Times Can One Divorce?
How many times can one divorce?
There is no definitive answer to this question. The reason for this is that each state has its own laws governing divorce proceedings, and each state varies in their specifications for the number of times you can get married and divorced. However, most states have the same basic criteria: a person must wait a certain amount of time after one divorce before they are eligible to receive a second. This time period is usually anywhere from six months to two years.
The waiting period serves several purposes. First, it prevents people from constantly getting married and divorced for the sake of practicing for marriage or for financial gain (such as collecting insurance money). It also gives people who may not be ready to be married another chance at finding their true soul mates. Last, it gives the court system enough time to process the paperwork involved in a divorce so that it won't take an inordinate amount of time to finalize your divorce if you do choose to get married again.
