Maybe, to receive Holy Communion one must be in a state of grace, so the only one that you can find out if you can receive Holy Communion is to discuss this with your confessor while you are in confession. Normally, one may get a divorce with the Church's permission if there are circumstances which you would have to be separated for you or your children's safety. Naturally, you could not remarry without an annulment, so if you remarried outside the Church any hope of receiving Holy Communion would be lost. Speak to your confessor about this.

Can you receive communion if you were not married by the church and divorced?
You may receive communion as a divorced Catholic, but not upon remarriage, unless you first have an annulment. This is true regardless of where your marriage was performed because all marriages are presumed valid. The church will consider you married until you receive an annulment, but you have not sinned simply by being divorced.
You were married in a register office before and then divorced you then converted to being a catholic and married again in a civil ceremony to a divorced man can you receive communion?
no, you are outside of the laws of the church. See a priest about nullifying the both of your previous marriages
Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?
This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.
Does a person who is married in the Catholic Church divorces and remarries outside of the Catholic Church and is now divorced go to communion?
your marriage outside of the Catholic church is invalid due to improper form. your 1st marriage in the church nullified it. If you are divorced and are a practicing Catholic, you may receive communion as long as you remain faithful to your 1st spouse. This would be the situation for any divorced Catholic. You are not free to marry without nullifying the first marriage.
Can you receive Holy Communion if you are married to a divorced Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerWhether or not you can receive Holy Communion depends on a number of things, you would need to make an appointment with a priest to talk this over. The person to whom you are married will also have to talk to a priest and arrange to have their marriage submitted to the tribunal to see if it can be annulled. In the meantime, you both need to be living as brother and sister, and go to Confession, then you may receive Holy Communion.
Can a protestant divorcee receive Holy Communion if you are married to a divorced Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe only people who may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church are Catholics in good standing, who have been to confession at least once in the last year and have no mortal sin on their souls; they must have made their first Holy Communion and be fasting for one hour. A protestant, regardless of their marital status would never be eligible to receive Holy Communion until they had converted.

If a divorced non Catholic marries a Catholic but not in the Catholic church is an annulment required for the Catholic to receive communion in a Catholic church?
For a Catholic to be in good standing, and to be able to receive Holy Communion, then they must not be in an irregular situation such as you describe, an objective state of sin. For the Catholic to be in a state of grace, and thus to be able to receive Holy Communion, he or she would have to fix the irregularity in his life either by obtaining an annulment and validly married the individual or by separating from them. It might be possible to receive Holy Communion and get back in a state of grace by just practicing continence, until such time as they could be validly married, but this would be an individual decision of the person's confessor. For a more thorough answer for a similar scenario, read this, written by Father Shane Johnson, a New York priest: (see link below)

If married, you need to be married before a Catholic priest, or dispensed from such by your Bishop.
