In Divorce, Does The Plaintiff And Defendant Both Have To Remove Barriers To Remarriage In Case Of Religious Marriage?

Q: In Divorce, does the plaintiff and defendant both have to remove barriers to remarriage in case of religious marriage? Contested divorce just got over with judge giving the divorce decision.

A: David’s Answer: Technically, only the plaintiff needs to execute the “Statement of Removal of Barriers to Remarriage.” That said, if it’s a specific issue in your case, then it is prudent to have the Defendant execute a stipulation to that effect as well.
