As of current times, the RC church does not recognize nor practice 'open communion' with other religions. Their belief is that this would imply that all Christian churches are 'united as one' which in their eyes is not so.
Most other Christian/Protestant churches welcome any RC parishioner with open arms to participate in Holy Communion. As long as the person believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, they are welcome to share in this Holy meal.

The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism." Whilst they allow this, a Catholic should not partake of communion with any "church" which is not in communion with Rome; as to do so, is an explicit consent to the believes and teachings of said "church." Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.

The bible teaches to divorce only if your spouse has committed adultery so if the reason you divorced was for some other reason other than your spouse committing adultery, and you did it with full knowledge that it is bad, you have committed a mortal sin. And if you have committed a mortal sin, you are not eligible to receive Holy Communion. Any ways, to be on the safe side, if you have already divorced for some other reason, you should go to confession before receiving Holy Communion if you knew it was bad OR not.
