hi folks, if US citizen is divorced. 

what is the difference between divorce decree and final divorce document.

one of them is 2 pages, other one is 8. 

it was a simplified divorce. 

to avoid RFE, which one should be submitted or is there anything i should be aware of? any other document related to divorce?

This depends on what country issued the divorce decree and what countries the spouses were residing in at the time of the divorce.

In California I received 2 documents (1 short, and 1 multi-page document) about my divorce, and included both in what I sent to USCIS.

Does your county or state have a cooling off period after getting a divorce decree?

not sure what you mean. Divorce happened 2 years ago and i can't imagine it is illegal to remary after 2 years. i hope i didn't misunderstand what you mean by "cooling off period"

Depends on the state.  The issue is not whether you are legal to remarry.  You are asking about the correct document to use as evidence of the divorce.  What State is it?  It's somewhat different in each state, but easy to Google for the correct answer to your question if we know the state.
