So I am assuming that you know that the state of Kansas has a statutory waiting period of 30 days before you can remarry after a divorce, correct? If in fact you choose to ignore the waiting period it does not have an effect on your divorce. In other words, it does not make the divorce invalid. It does, however, have an effect on your marriage. If you marry during this time, the new marriage would generally be voidable, meaning either party to the new marriage could ask to have the marriage declared invalid. Now why would you want to place yourself in that position from the get go? Wait the 30 days. Good luck.
