The Catholic Church requires that any prior marriage (secular or consecrated) be reviewed and possibly annulled before a second marriage can take place. The circumstances surrounding Annulment and Remarriage are complicated and depend on all the circumstances. Every diocese has someone who can help you better understand the situation that is specific to you and your intended spouse.
The best way to begin this is to contact the marriage counselor in your local parish. They will advise you on how to proceed and refer you as needed. Please note that this will be a lengthy process (six months at least).
AnswerWithin the Roman Catholic Church it is not possible for a divorced person to remarry in church unless the Church can show that your previous marriage was not a 'true' marriage and so it can be annulled (treated as though it never happened). The rules surrounding obtaining an annulment are long and complex.However some denominations will marry divorced people. As an example, the Anglican Church will allow remarriage at the discretion of the particular priest and after a certain period of counselling, preparation, healing, penance and forgiveness, the degree of which depends on the individual priest or bishop.
Therefore, if your desire to remarry in the sight of God is thwarted by the rules of the Roman Catholic Church, another denomination may well help out. If you live, for example, in the UK where the Church of England (the Anglican church in the UK) is the established and official church, you have the right to marry there provided you or your fiance (or your immediate family) lives in the parish, or you have a strong connection with that parish, and provided that the vicar will accommodate the remarriage of a divorcee.

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.
Can a child of two Catholics one being divorced be baptized?
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the base rule for who can be baptized is "Every person not yet baptized and only such a person is able to be baptized." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a1.htm#1246 Given that children with one non-Catholic parent are regularly baptized, I would imagine it is possible, but if the divorced parent re-married, without annulment, the other parent of the child then there would be grave concerns about the likelihood of the child being raised in the Faith. Most priests would not agree to such a baptism. If the parents were divorced after the child was conceived, or if the divorced parent also has an annulment, then I can't think of any reason that the child could not be baptized.
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 in a Catholic Church in Italy you are divorced but did not marry in a Catholic Church?
If you are divorced, you CANNOT marry in any Catholic church anywhere in the world. In the Catholic church's eye, you are still married once you are divorced. Therefore, you are committing adultery by remarrying.If you want to remarry, you should get an annulment. This completely erases the former marriage.If you are divorced, baptized Catholic, and were not married in a Catholic church or marriage not validated by a Catholic priest, but were married in a civil ceremony or a non Catholic Church, then you CAN be married in a Catholic Church, with proper dispensation. You shouild see a priest in this case; otherwise you need an annullment.Roman Catholic AnswerThe above answer is a little confused, if you have been married and are divorced, then you are still married in the eyes of the Church and can not get married again unless your first spouse dies. If there was some defect with the first marriage AND IT WAS NOT VALID IN THE FIRST PLACE, then you can get an annulment which is nothing more than the Church's declaration that the first attempted marriage never took place validly. The Church has no power to "completely erase" any valid marriage. If your marriage was valid, then you will be denied an annulment. In the last case mentioned above, you were a Catholic but did not marry in front of a priest, then you did not fulfuill the requirements for a valid marriage, and your attempted marriage could be annulled.

I was baptized a Roman Catholic but confirmed Orthodox and I married a Greek Orthodox can I have my nephew baptized in a Catholic Church?
Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church.
