I think the rule is 1 year for every three years you are married. Good luck

I would say it depends on how you feel...you might still love your ex spouse after the divorce. If you feel like that your ready to date.. then your single!!

The day your divorce is final.  If you are not married you are single.  That's like saying how long after one gets married can you consider yourself married.

While yes its TECHNICALLY true that once you're divorced, you're now single as soon as the paperwork is signed, but I'm sure plenty of people out there would certainly want to know if their partner has been married before.  Especially if they've been married and divorced several times.  Might set off some red flags as to whether or not you can count on the relationship lasting, ya know?

i assume as soon as the paperwork is done, you are single again, if not so, the it should be so, makes life much more simple, i never been married or divorced so i wouldnt worry about such things, marriage doesnt usually last anymore which is a real shame. loving the single life :thumbsup:

I believe once you know that you are on your way to the court to sign divorce papers, in your mind you are already single.... confirmation is when you signed the papers.... FREEEEEEEE   :thumbsup:

My ex husband and I divorce was final October 26, 2004 and he was remarried on February 14, 2005. So I guess everyone's answer will be completely different! I'm not single nor am I married but I am engaged!
