Catholic Answer

Catholics have a different concept of Church than protestants. For a Catholic the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ (see Acts 9:1-5; 1 Cor 12:12-14; Col 1:15-2:3) thus if they are devout Catholics, they do nothing "outside" of Church, as, in their baptism, they become a intimate part of the Church and cannot leave it without committing a mortal sin.

What if married outside the church and can't have a catholic priest at the ceremony How do you get the church to recognize your marriage?

The question needs to be expanded as there are many things to consider. A Catholic can marry outside the church as long as it is in another Christian church and recognized by the Catholic church if the non catholic party agrees to your oath to raise the children as Catholic. The priest does not have to be present. The marriage must be in church, it cannot be outside the church in a garden or country club, unless the non-catholic party is Jewish or Muslim (out of respect) and again agrees to the children being brought up as Catholic If two catholics are married by a Justice of the Peace outside of church they can have their marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,as long as this was first marriage for both.

Does a person who is married in the Catholic Church divorces and remarries outside of the Catholic Church and is now divorced go to communion?

your marriage outside of the Catholic church is invalid due to improper form. your 1st marriage in the church nullified it. If you are divorced and are a practicing Catholic, you may receive communion as long as you remain faithful to your 1st spouse. This would be the situation for any divorced Catholic. You are not free to marry without nullifying the first marriage.
