In the US, NO!! The couple who have a pending divorce are still legally married. Until the final decree is read in court, neither one can legally re-marry. To do otherwise is bigamy and punishable by US law.

What a great opportunity to get to know the person you plan to marry -- since you will need proof of your divorce before applying for a marriage certificate, you will have to wait until the divorce is final before remarrying.

Not legally. You have to complete divorce proceedings before remarrying. You can, of course, get engaged before your current marriage is dissolved. If your wife/husband filed for divorce on the grounds of adultery, and named the other person as a party to the adultery in the divorce petition, and was granted the divorce based on that, you have to wait 30 days after the divorce is final before marrying the other person, at least in some states. Otherwise, your new marriage can be declared null and void. Check to see if this law applies in your state.

No. You will need a copy of your divorce decree before applying for a license.

No. Your second marriage would not be legal. in fact, in the United States a married person who knowingly marries again without legally dissolving their first marriage commits bigamy.
