I am still legally married but divorce is right around the corner. I don't think there really is a set amount of time as to how long one should wait. I think it is something that is personal to each individual. Furthermore, it would also change depending on the circumstances surrounding the divorce. If the split was a long time coming, I would say the "turn around" time would be a lot shorter. I have 3 kids (at a very young age mind you) from my marriage and while it did shy some people away while in the field, I was still able to land an amazing woman who accepted the fact that I had children and an ex wife at such a young age and we are doing very well. As I said, it is all probably a case by case thing.
