What is the wait time on remarriage

My ex-husband and I were married in Alabama. He filed for divorce while
still living in Alabama. I have lived in Louisiana for the past two years
when he filed for divorce. I would like to marry my new boyfriend, but I’m
not sure what the law is on wait time. Do I need to go by Alabama law and
wait 60 days or Louisiana law and get married as soon as next week?

The waiting period is imposed by the state in which the divorce is granted.  So you would have to wait the required time by the state of Alabama.  If you marry before it may not be considered legal, even if done in a state that has no waiting period.  Good luck.
