There's no such thing as half married, and more than there's half pregnant -- either you are, or you aren't.  And if the judgment or decree that says in writing, "divorce granted" or similarly, hasn't been signed and dated by the judge and filed by the court clerk, you're not divorced, you're married.  Your new marriage, before the divorce, is quite likely absolutely invalid.

You need to do whatever is necessary to the the final judgment of divorce entered, and you will have to do your new marriage over.  I'm not a North Carolina lawyer, so you need to talk to an attorney in your area about how this should be done in your state.  One place to find the lawyer you need is our website, http://attorneypages.com
