I live in the State Of Wisconsin...I thought you could not get remarried in the same state for 6 months but today the judge stated i could not get married in ANY state. We have all the plans made and paid for the marriage..hotel etc..for las vegaas..what will happen to me when I do get married on Feb 14th? Will it be a legal marriage?

I've never heard of such a thing. My divorce took so long that I was in the same situation as you. My divorce hearing was in June, but my attorney broke her leg and never got around to drawing up the divorce decree. Needless to say, my wedding plans were in trouble when I found out the thing had to be signed by all parties and filed before it was official in August. Then my ex tried to re-negotiate the damn thing.
We finally got the dumb thing signed on Wednesday, filed on Thursday and were able to get our marriage license on Friday so we could get married on Saturday. (Boy was my ex pissed when he found out on Sunday.)
All this after a 3 year ugly divorce.
Granted I'm in Ohio, but if I were you I'd talk to some other divorced people in your state. I don't see how they could prevent you from getting remarried if your divorce is legally final.
Best Wishes!
 
Ask the judge to give you a law that prevents you from getting married. If one exists you are out of luck. If he can't give you a law good luck in Vegas. I am on my 6th marriage. The only think I made sure of was that I was divorced from one before marrying another. My last one took Place in Vegas also.
