You mean he got married and divorced by a minister who is not a priest or deacon, without the Catholic church's blessing?
If this is what you are asking, the answer turns on:
1) Was the man Catholic? If he was, then the Church will not recognize his first marriage unless he got permission from his bishop to get married by the state. So, because he was never married, he won't have any difficulties marrying a Catholic woman who has never been married in the Catholic Church after receiving an annulment (a decree that no marriage ever existed).
2) If the man was not Catholic at the time of the first marriage, the church WILL recognize it. He will need to submit for an decree of nullity (an annulment) to see if the marriage was valid or not. If it was not valid he may marry after the decree is issued, otherwise, no.

If a divorced Catholic remarries outside of the Catholic Church is it legal?
In the eyes of the state, yes the marriage is legal. The religious affiliation of the couple being married has no bearing on a marriage sanctioned by the state. In regards to the Catholic Church, the civil divorce of the Catholic in question does not dissolve the marriage, therefore that person is still bound in marriage to their spouse. There is no such thing as a divorce in the Catholic Church. The only option is called annulment, which is not a divorce, but instead a finding that the person was never validly married in the first place. Thus, remarriage of a divorced Catholic is invalid. A person who does so would be committing the sin of adultery against their actual spouse to whom they are still married in the eyes of God.
How long could you be married in order to qualify for an annulment?
Depending on the grounds for annulment (i.e., the Catholic couple did not marry in the Catholic Church) an annulment may take only a few months. Catholics are forbidden to marry outside the Catholic Church. For example, if one or 2 Catholics were merely married by a Justice of the Peace ("the secular state"), no sacramental marriage existed in the first place. An annulment would still be required if the couple divorced and one or both wanted to marry another in the Catholic Church. That annulment, however, could be pretty easily and quickly attained. Most annulments take between 1 to 2 years to obtain. And, not all Catholic marriages can be annulled. There must be legitimate grounds on which to annul any marriage.
Can a legally married couple marry in the Catholic Church?
One who is baptised and has not been married before or has received an annulment from a previous marriage or who had a spouse that died. To clarify: Clearly, Catholics who are single can marry in the Catholic Church. Any baptized Christian (of any denomination) can marry someone in the Catholic church provided their fiancée is a Catholic. One who has received an annulment was technically never married so is thus eligible to marry provided they are Christian. One who is a widower can marry because Marriage is 'death do us part', and technically your marriage ends when your spouse dies.
