Dear Chris,
To be real honest with you, it depends upon the person with whom you are discussing the question as to the answer that you will get. In many fundamental Christian circles, the answer you get will be "no, except for the case of adultery."
The problem is that the Jewish and/or Biblical perspective on the subject is quite different. The fact is that there are many reasons specified in Jewish Law as to why a man could put away his wife or why the wife could put away her husband. Without going into an inordinate amount of detail, the simple answer to your question is, "yes, you are free to remarry," and I say that regardless of what the circumstances might have been and do not let anybody put you into bondage over this issue. It happens to be one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christendom.
Best wishes,
