Jesus made it clear you can divorce for fornication/adultery
Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

NOT FAIR TO POSE THE QUESTION that way. Just because you are forgiven that doesn't mean there are not consequences. If it was a divorce for non-legtimate reasons after a profession of faith that would mean church discipline to some extent is the person was non-repentant. If it was in the past then the issue of how to deal with it really wouldn't come up unless he or she wanted to get remarried. In those situatoins its best to let the elders decide in each case for there could be many different complicated manners and its best to be discussed in the local church not on chat rooms.

Yeah, just because divorce is forgiven by God, doesn't mean there is just an open license to remarry.
I mean if asking forgiveness was all that was required, the prophets, Jesus and Paul wouldn't of had all those commands against remarriage. They'd of just said ask for forgiveness and move on.
We know you're allowed to remarry if the other person is dead, has cheated, or isn't a Christian and has walked away from you.(1 Corinthians 7: 15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? )
