In the State, yes. In the eyes of the Catholic Church, however, sacramental marriage is an indissoluble bond. A divorce legally separates the couple, but in the eyes of the Church they are still married, and as such a new marriage would result in the couple living in adultery.

Can a divorced Episcopalian marry a catholic in a catholic church?

For starters, Catholics are bound by Church law to marry according to the Catholic form of marriage unless they get a dispensation for just cause from the bishop. In this case, however, there is yet another impediment, as the Catholic Church considers sacramental marriage a bond indissoluble by human means. The divorced Catholic is, in the eyes of the Church, still married to his or her original spouse. To go to another faith tradition in order to "cheat" the Church on this matter is problematic in that it displays a lack of understanding as to why the Church believes as she does about marriage. Not to mention a lack of understanding as to the importance of fidelity to the faith they supposedly espouse.

Can a Catholic not married in the Catholic church but divorced with a child from the marriage marry a Catholic in the church?

You should be ok. Many of them welcome all and don't bar anyone in particular from marrying in the Church provided you can afford the service. If you were baptized Catholic and married in a civil ceremony with no church approval at that time, and divorced, you can marry in the Catholic Church. Your new spouse has to meet guidelines, however; for example if he/she was married in the churchas Catholic and divorced he cannot marry you unless his first marriage was annulled.
