Absolutely not! Unfortunately, some marriages don't work out. People get hurt, then they find someone else. What's important is that these two don't have any ties any more, so make sure of that. Also, make sure you're not standing in the way of anything between them. If he still loves her, and wants to try to make things work then you need to respect that.
I'm dating a divorced man. For a while he was seperated, but not divorced. I would continuously tell him that if he still has feelings for her, then I understand. He had left me a couple of times for her, and I didn't stand in the way. Eventually they came to part for good, and now we're extremely happy.
Just be careful!

That is very true, and a very good point. I've been in the situation where I heard one "false" side, and once I heard the other side, it wasn't a good result. There is ways to make sure though.
You could always try just being friends, going for coffee, etc. He did just get out of a marriage, or is getting out of one, so having a friend is always great. I think the best relationships come from great friendships anyways!

Matthew 5:31-32
It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 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.
So it really all depends on the reasoning.

It is true that if a person is divorced for any reason you cannot marry them. What is supposed to happen if there is a divorce is that the two should forgive each other, and stay separated or get back together, but not remarried.
Besides that, you have plenty of time to get to know God before you mess with some guy lol, but I'm not telling you to not get married, just not to someone divorced, cause it shows lack of understanding love and forgiveness, even if you're not the one who is divorced.

1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

1Co 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
1Co 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
1Co 7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
1Co 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
1Co 7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
1Co 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
1Co 7:30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
1Co 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

. Put Christ in the center and you will be amazed at what happens.
The bible says every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery.
To divorce my wife for someone else is adultery. If my wife leaves me, and divorces me, abandons and betrays me, how is that my doing?
Of course there is some reason why she has left, but a true knowledgable, knowing, serving, Christ following person would not divorce me for some shallow reason. So then if she is not true to him, isn't he advised to let her go and be married to someone who is like unto him? Or to remain single ...
find out why his wife divorced him. If it is her doing and not that he was abusive or something the like, then I see no reason why you cannot get involved.
If she cheated and left him for her own benifit, not because of his ill doing, then she has broken her marriage vows, not him. It is not his place to force her to stay around and it is not God's will for him to suffer for her transgressions and her defiling their marriage.
For what fellowship does an unbeliever have with a believer? In other words, how can someone who is faithful and tries to lvoe, be with someone who doesn't care for these things and is not faithful?

Genesis 3
16 To the woman he said,
“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children.
Your desire shall be for[f] your husband,
and he shall rule over you.”
17 And to Adam he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
1 Cor 15:22
22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
