“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a divorced man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of another wife.”

Remarriage is undoubtedly becoming a less taboo subject matter. Despite divorce being a tiring and hurtful process, not all divorcees give up on love, or indeed the institute of marriage.

Although many may not feel comfortable wearing their “Marriage Record” on their sleeve, being divorced these days is nothing to feel ashamed of. This particularly applies to re-entering the dating world. From an outsider’s perspective, there are undoubtedly advantages of dating a divorcee. For example, someone who has already been down the aisle is likely to have made relationship mistakes and learned from them.

Generally speaking, people nowadays are more accepting of divorce and remarriage. However, prejudice against divorcees is still present. With negative labels pinned on the previously married community such as ‘career divorcee’ and ‘serial divorcee’ some may find it difficult to even consider looking for love again. However, it is important to remember that every divorce and relationship is different according to the individuals involved. Remarriage and even just dating after divorce may not be for everyone, but one should never say never when it comes to finding love.

For those who are itching to get remarried, it is vital to check with your divorce lawyer the exact process. It is not as simple as you may think. In order to remarry you must be separated for twelve months and a day. You must also wait out the ‘decree nisi for dissolution of marriage’ period which is normally one month. In some cases, the Court may wish to see further evidence that you have done as much as you possibly can to save your previous marriage.
