The answers is no, if he wasn't divorced,yes,because the catholic church recognises the orthodox church as valid since they were one church before.However if he is divorced he is not allowed in either catholic or orthodox.
A Catholic can marry any non- Catholic, and it is recognized as a sacrament in the Catholic church. Only when the individual has been previously married there is an issue. In which case that individual must have their previous marriage annuled. The Catholic church permits Catholics to marry in the Orthodox church and it is a sacrament. I have spoken to Catholic priests and Catholic Bishops and they do not see a problem with a Greek annulment, as being an impediment. If that individual did not have their marriage previously annulled than it would be an issue.

Can a divorced Ukrainian Orthodox man marry a Roman Catholic woman?
Roman Catholic AnswersAs Christians we believe that marriage is for life. We believe this as God created us, and this is how He made us. Thus a divorced person, if they have been validly married cannot marry again while that spouse is still alive. If in your question, you are referring to a "divorced Ukranian Orthodox man" who is still validly married in the eyes of the Church, then, no, you would not be able to marry a Catholic woman. You may speak to a priest about this, if there is some question as to the validity of your marriage, it might be annulled (declared that no sacramental marriage actually existed), then you would be free to marry a Catholic woman.

Can a Catholic married priest get a divorce and how?
Generally, priests may not marry. However, if a married priest from the Anglican or Orthodox Church decides to become a Catholic priest, he can remain married. However, divorce is neither recognized nor permitted by the Catholic Church. Divorce is a civil matter. If a Catholic priest were married (a situation that happens, for example, in very few non-Latin rite churches or in the case where a married Anglican priest converts to the Catholic Church and wants to be a Catholic priest), it would be the same for him. I would hope it would not happen, but if he and his wife divorced, it would be a civil matter as well. Unless his marriage were annulled (recognized as invalid from the beginning), the Church would still consider him bound by the sacrament of Matrimony, because contracts (civil marriage) are the domain of the state, and sacraments are the domain of the Church.
If a Roman Catholic woman marries a Greek Orthodox man without proper dispensation from Catholic Canonical Law can an annullment be obtained in the Catholic Church?
