Hi, I have a question about this statement?
STATEMENT IN THIS BOX APPLIES ONLY TO JUDGMENT OF DISSOLUTION
Effective date of termination of marital or domestic partnership status (specify):
WARNING: Neither party may remarry or enter into a new domestic partnership until the effective date of the termination of marital or domestic partnership status, as shown in this box.
(My question is, what if my soon to be ex has entered a new domestic partnership?
What does this warning mean. Do we go back to court?
Answer
It means what it says. The parties are not married until the judge signs a judgment with that box checked that indicates the marital status is terminated. Many people mistakenly think that they are divorced simply because they filed papers with the court. Any marriage or domestic partnership that they enter into without terminating the first marriage is void.
