In some places around the world, a church marriage is all that is required.
Today, in every state in the US, a marriage license is required and that must be issued by the county or other government authority. The priest will not perform the marriage ceremony without the license.

How can a child of a Lutheran and Catholic parent be baptised to make both parents happy?
A person can only be baptized once so baptizing in both churches would be redundant. Generally, when a non-Catholic marries a Catholic they are required to affirm that any children must be raised as Catholics before the Church will allow them to marry. Therefore, if they were married in a Catholic church the children should be baptized in a Catholic church. If the parents were not married in a Catholic church, then they have another problem. They need to regularize their marriage to be in full communion with the Catholic Church. They must arrange to have their marriage blessed by the Catholic Church.

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.
