The Divorce Process in El Paso, Texas: From Beginning to End
Finality
Many people speak about when their divorce is "final." Sometimes, this can be difficult to determine, especially if a divorce is granted under the procedure outline above. Finality has to do with the date that the divorce court loses its jurisdiction over the divorce itself (the court has continuing jurisdiction over the SAPCR).
You may have heard that you cannot get married again until 30 days after your divorce. This 30-day period generally runs from the date that the final divorce decree is signed. After 30 days, the trial court loses its jurisdiction over the divorce. However, you should be aware that this 30-day period can be extended if either you or your spouse decide to appeal the divorce.
