There are some places that will grant you a one signature divorce. It depends a lot on your circumstances. It may be handled differently if it is abandonment, or if it is contested. Either way, in many locations, it is still possible. It is best to seek legal advice in the area in which you reside.

Can you get remarried in one state while married to another person in another state if divorce papers are about to be signed by the judge?
Absolutely not. You would still be married to your first spouse and your remarriage would be invalid. You cannot be legally remarried while you are still married to your spouse. Papers "about to be signed" are not signed and carry no legal significance whatsoever. You are not divorced until the judge signs the decree and it is entered into the record.

Generally, the divorce is legal once the decree has been issued.
Just because divorce papers are signed does not mean you are divorced?
If you are talking about being signed by the spouses, then no. Before a divorce is final it has to be approved by a judge. The judge actually grants the divorce, your signatures only show that you both agree to the divorce.

You and your husband are separated and you are no longer together but you are waiting for him to sign the divorce papers i don't love him anymore and i want to date but i don't know if it is wrong?
As long as you are Legally separated - have separation papers you have both signed, have proof of separate residences then you should be okay. If the divorce isn't going well or if he is contesting it then be careful - wait until the divorce is final or it could make things more complicated and used against you.
