The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce. If one obtains a civil divorce the Catholic Church considers the couple as only separated. If a divorced Catholic remarries without an annulment that person is guilty of adultery and may no longer receive the sacraments.

What does church of Christ believe about divorce?

The Church of Christ believes that divorce should not happen unless one spouse cheats on the other, then one of them can decide if they want to leave. The one that was cheated on can then marry someone who has never been married, and the one that cheat is to never marry. But that's only if you want to be all proper about it. No one really enforces it. Also if the is spousal abuse, if it is not resolved, the one being abused may leave.

Can one person be divorced and the other still married?

In the US... Assuming you're talking about two people married to each other, no, one can't still be married and the other be divorced. They're either both married to each other or both divorced from each other. It is possible that a divorce was granted without one party being aware of it, if they were unable to locate that person to serve notice of the divorce, in which case they do a divorce by publication (publish a legal notice in the newspaper).
