No. Once someone has a marriage annulled in civil court the parties are free from each other and any subsequent marriage is valid as long as the subsequent marriage took place afterthe first marriage was annulled.
A marriage that was entered while one of the parties was still married (which would be the case prior to an annulment) is null and void. A subsequent annulment of that first marriage would not "cure" the second one. The parties must arrange to get married legally.

Is annulment a sin?
Of course not, an annulment is nothing other than the Church's decision that no valid marriage was contracted in the first place.
Can a divorced non-catholic man marry a catholic woman if his previous marriage was a civil ceremony performed at home without the declaration of nullity?
If the man was baptized Catholic, married in a civil ceremony and then divorced, yes, he can marry a Catholic woman in a Church ceremony in the presence of the priest or deacon with proper paper work completed. He could also marry again in a civil ceremony. You need to talk to a priest and apply for an annulment which is a ruling from the Church that no sacramental marriage is present from the civil marriage.

Can you marry a Catholic girl even if you have been divorced and you are not Catholic and not married in a Church?
Not 100% sure on this, but the answer is No, since the Catholic Church recognizes the non-Catholic marriage as valid. That previous marriage would have to go through an annulment process.Roman Catholic AnswerThe above answer is correct. The question is whether your first marriage is valid. If it is valid, then you may not marry again as long as your spouse is alive. An annulment is a decree that no valid marriage ever existed. If you and your spouse are both baptized, then, in all probability your first marriage would be valid, even if it wasn't in Church as a valid marriage is contracted by two Christians who are not Catholic. If one of you has been baptized, then there would probably not be a valid marriage. In any case you still need to have it examined. I believe, however, that if you have not be baptised at all, and wish to convert and be baptized, then there is the Pauline privilege which would allow you to be married in the Church.
Can a widowed man marry a divorced catholic in the church?
Roman Catholic AnswerIf the divorced Catholic has an annulment (a decree that no valid marriage ever existed), then yes, she would be free to marry. If there is no annulment, the Church assumes a valid marriage and she could not marry again. She would have to take the case up with her pastor and the diocesan marriage tribunal.
How annulment is different from divorce?
With an annulment, the Catholic Church examines a the original marriage contract to see if it was entered into and executed validly, that is, the Church examines to see if there was ever a marriage at all. If it is discovered that there were impediments to the marriage, then a valid marriage was not entered into and so was not preformed. Therefore the two parties are single, and have always been so (unless one of them was in a previous marriage to the one examined, which is itself an impediment). A divorce does not examine the validly of a marriage. Whether it is valid or not, the state simply declares it void. Divorces are not recognized by the Catholic Church.

Children in the eyes of the Catholic chuch from an annulment?
Children of an annulment are still children. The annulment has nothing to do with parenthood. It simply declares the marriage was never valid, but the children of that union are still the children of the parents. The children are never annulled.
Can you get married in a Catholic church of you were married before?
By 'catholic chapel' you are making reference to the worldwide christian church body. In that case, the answer is YES. If you meant 'Catholic chapel', the answer is NO. You should be aware that the Catholic church does not allow re-marriage unless you go through a tribunal that has the ability to annul your previous marriage. Whether or not the former cleric is still a practicing member of the church ministry should be of no consequence. The Catholic Church would not deem a marriage as valid where it had been celebrated and administered by an excommunicated member of the clergy. Marriage is viewed as a Sacrament of the Church and no excommunicated member of the clergy can administer any Sacrament. Therefore in the eyes of the Catholic Church your previous marriage would be null and void. However, in the eyes of the State you would be lawfully married and would necessarily need to obtain a Decree Nisi Absolute, (divorce) before re-marrying. As you would not have been previously deemed as married in the eyes of the Church, it is unlikely that you would require any Special Dispensations from His Holiness, The Pope, for annulment of that union in order to re-marry. However, if the Church did deem your previous union as a valid marriage, then any subsequent marriage would not be deemed valid in the eyes of the Church without first obtaining an annulment of that marriage via a Papal Dispensation.
Does a person who has been married before but not in a catholic church still have to get an annullment before they can convert to the catholic religion?
Yes if there is an annulment. No if there is a divorce.
Can a divorced Catholic man marry to a Catholic convert woman in the Catholic church?
The answer depends upon whether the Catholic man's first marriage was canonically valid, and, if so, whether he has been granted an annulment. The marriage of a Catholic in a civil ceremony, for example, is not canonically valid in the eyes of the Church. In most cases, such a marriage would not require an annulment for a second marriage in the Church to take place. If, however, the first marriage was valid in the eyes of the Church, as for example, a Catholic wedding, then it will be necessary for the man's first marriage to be annuled before he can validly contract a second Catholic marriage.
What is annulment letter?
An annulment is a legal procedure which declares a marriage null and void, or having no legal effect. It is NOT a divorce, it means that the marriage was never legitimate to begin with. The Catholic Church does not believe in divorce, but under a few circumstances an annulment might be granted. An annulment nullifies the marriage, meaning that it never existed. To have grounds for an annulment, the couple must not have been able to enter a valid marriage because of a reason set forth by the church, such as being pressured to marry or the couple is closely related by blood. As part of the annulment process, the petitioner will ask for witnesses to testify that the couple's marriage was invalid. The witnesses usually make this testimony in a letter to the tribunal.
