I finalized my divorce through mediation on August 16th, 2016, but haven’t received the official decree yet. I have custody of my child, and the father has visitation rights once a month. We agreed on him covering 50% of the child’s education expenses. Is there a waiting period before I can remarry in India? If so, how long should I wait?

In India, there is no waiting period required for remarriage after a divorce, even if the decree has not been issued yet. However, the legal validity of your divorce and the legal standing of your remarriage will depend on the finalization of the decree.
