In order to receive the Eucharist you must not be in a state of sin.
Divorce per se is not a sin, its what you are actually doing. E.g. if you are divorced and you've been granted an Annulment then everything is fine. If you're in the process of getting an Annulment and you're not committing other sins (e.g. fornication) then you're Ok.
If you're not going to bother getting an Annulment, then that might be a problem-see your priest during confession for more details.
