If there are no impediments (eg: previously married and divorced without an annulment), all you need to do is talk to the pastor and arrange for the marriage to be blessed by the Church. Now, if there is some impediment, you will also need to talk with the pastor to regularize the situation.

If someone has been married by a judge and in the future later blessed in the catholic church can a Catholic tribunal anull the common law marriage?
All marriages (civil or otherwise) are assumed to be true marriages by the Catholic Church. To explore whether a marriage, in fact and law, existed a tribunal will study the case and present a finding according to canon law as to the validity of the marriage.A blessed marriage is not a declaration of validity, rather a welcoming of the couple the catholic community and an expression of joy from the community.The assumption is that the marriage is valid, but the blessing is not a finding of law.
How does a non-Catholic get an annulment to marry a Catholic?
This could be a complex question because of the many ways it can be interpreted. Regarding conversion to Catholicism, this does not require that you obtain an annulment to your marriage. Any marriage you may have contracted is valid since marriage is both a natural and supernatural (sacramental) institution. Only Catholics are obliged to contract a sacramental marriage. If you were not Catholic at the time of your marriage, this obligation was not incumbent upon you and you validly entered into a natural marriage contract. The Church wishes you to continue strong in that marriage and earnestly wishes for the conversion of your spouse that you both can have your marriage blessed and raised to the dignity of a sacrament with all the graces particular to it. If you have any reasonable doubt as to the validly of your marriage in its original context - that being when it was contracted prior to your conversion - you can consult with a priest. However, the Church will assume your marriage is valid. There are, however, the following circumstances that may have prompted this question: * If you have decided to convert, but your spouse is so opposed to it to such a degree as to reject you or make life unreasonably difficult, you may decide to separate, but this does not affect your ability to be received into the Church. Neither is this grounds for an annulment. * If your marriage was preformed with a person of a different Christian religion, no religion, or a Pagan religion, the marriage is still considered valid and you do not need an annulment for you to be received in the Church. If your marriage was contracted according to one of the more fringe religions, such as involving polygamous unions, or denying the very purpose of marriage or at least some of its basic principles, perhaps your current status needs to be addressed and remedied before moving into a new life as a Catholic. * If your marriage was to a Catholic who did not receive a dispensation from the Church to marry you, then the marriage was automatically invalid since your Catholic spouse cannot contract a non-sacramental marriage without a dispensation. You are therefore not married in the eyes of the Church and there is nothing to be annulled. If you want others to understand this situation, you may ask the Church (through your priest) to issue an official declaration that all may become public knowledge. However, the above situation should not impede your reception into the Church unless there is some sort of misunderstanding that has led to public scandal. Such a situation may need to be remedied out of prudence before the Church receives you. * If you desire to obtain an annulment in order to marry again upon becoming Catholic, that issue is completely irrelevant and does not affect your being received into the Church unless you are only converting in order to get an annulment. Such a reason would not be a sufficient cause in order to be received into the Church and a priest would refuse to baptize you. The annulment process is begun by your local parish priest. He will ask you for any religious or civil documentation, witnesses, reasons, etc. If the state of your marriage is not obvious, he will then forward your case to a proper canon lawyer or recommend one to you. This process is not free and normally costs thousands of dollars and takes around two years to complete. Only begin down this path if you have serious doubts about the validity of your marriage and are prepared for the consequences of the final decision of the Church, which may or may not "grant" the annulment. The bottom line, however, is that you do not need to annul your marriage in order to become Catholic. If there are specific circumstances that have led you or others to this conclusion that are not addressed above, perhaps submit these circumstances in a new question. Otherwise, continue, become Catholic and may God bless your marriage.
I was married in a chapel and then divorced two years later. My finance was married in a catholic church and his wife passed away. Can you get married twice in a Catholic church?
Bless you for being so concerned about having your marriage be blessed by the Catholic Church. You truly have a divine spark within you that is growing immensely through the Holy Spirit to do good by your faith. First, to answer your question: Yes you can get married multiple times in the Catholic Church - only if your marriage is dissolved through death or found to be annulled. There is no such thing as a divorce to a Catholic, the bond is permanent in this world, 'What God joins, let no man asunder'. On death first. The vow goes, 'unto death do us part' because essentially Catholics believe that those who go to heaven are re-married with Christ as their spouse. After experiencing the death of a spouse, many Catholics feel the spiritual urge to marry again and continue their marital vocation. God very much blesses these people as marriage is a vocation that He certainly wishes for them. This means that your fiance is free to re-marry. As far as annulment goes, all annulment means is that a marriage was found to never have existed ever. Annulment is the process in which a Catholic must undergo to see if they can marry again (actually, for the very first time!). The process investigates the facts behind the marriage: was it done with complete consent of the will free from any outside pressure? There are other questions asked, of course. If found in tact, the marriage is still in tact and the Catholic has a duty to their spouse to live their sacrament of marriage despite how difficult or trying it may be (even if having to live separately). Such hardships may indeed be a particular kind of cross that the Catholic and their spouse have to bear. If not, the annulment releases the Catholic from that false marriage to essentially being able to marry. In your case, I would consult a priest or deacon that you trust the most and see if the annulment process is appropriate for you to undergo. Sometimes the process goes very quickly if there were obvious reasons that the first (false) marriage never really happened. God bless you and your fiance, I hope that you can get this all sorted out and live in the fullness of Christ. I can clearly tell by your desire to be blessed as a sacramental marriage that this means a whole lot to you. God loves you and your fiance very much.
Can a Catholic woman remarry in a Catholic Church after a divorce?
no the church would only recognize your first marriageANSWER: Yes, if you resolve your 1st marriage through the Church's annulment process. The Catholic Church doesn't recognize "Caesar's" (the state's) divorce decree as sufficient dissolution of a solemn promise/covenant (marriage) made before God and witnesses. Marriage can't just be summarily dismissed as easily as it is now in secular society.
Which churches are against divorce?
