There have been different view points regarding the ability to remarry in a state such as Nevada that allows divorce and remarriage after the gavel hits the bench, so to speak. But I would advise that you follow the laws in the state in which you are divorced and wait the 30 days OR obtain a waiver of the 30 day period if your state allows such a thing (and many indeed do allow it). It is better to be safe rather than sorry and you would not want to do anything that would put you in a position of being in an invalid marriage. Good luck.
