When Roman Catholics enter a marriage, it is without intention of divorce and is a permanent commitment for life. Should divorce happen, the Catholic is not free to remarry unless the marriage is proven invalid by the church through the annulment process. The Catholic may still receive the sacraments.

Sometimes a divorce is recommended in instances where there needs to be a legal separation between a husband and a wife, this is something that you should consult your confessor or pastor about.

Roman Catholic AnswerYes, I believe that was one of the prerequisites to obtaining an annulment from the Church would be a civil divorce, but you should check with the canon lawyer in your diocese, or your pastor.
Divorce does not exist within the Roman Catholic Church, but Catholics can apply for an annulment. If the marriage is deemed to have been invalid, it is declared null. The advantage of an annulment is that the Catholic is recognized to have never validly contracted marriage and is therefore free to marry. In most countries, Catholics can obtain a divorce from the secular authorities, without reference to the Church. A divorce allows the Catholic to remarry under law, and is usually required whether or not an annulment is obtained from the Church. Even if the Catholic does not obtain an annulment, a secular divorce allows him or her to remarry, but not in a Catholic church. However, it is important to remember that the Catholic Church will not formally recognise this marriage.
