My fiance was married before in a civil ceremony and is now divorced we are looking to get married in the Catholic Church does he need to get an annulment?
There are some details lacking in the information given through the question for a precise answer. It is best for you and your fiance to visit your parish priest and be open and frank about her situation.
If your fiance was Catholic and was married by a civil servant, her marriage would never have been recognized by the Church as Catholics may only contract a sacramental marriage sanctioned by the Church and witnessed by one of her ministers (i.e. a priest). If your fiance is not Catholic - which will have a whole set of issues to be addressed after this one is solved, but not here - and contracted a civil marriage, she may be validly married depending on the circumstances, who she married, etc. This information would have to be made plain to a priest in order for him to discern how to proceed.
Assuming, for simplicity's sake, your fiance was Catholic when she underwent a civil marriage, she committed a sin by marrying outside the Church and was never validly married in Its eyes. She therefore does not need to apply for an annulment investigation - her marriage was automatically invalid by its circumstances. In order for her to contract a valid marriage she needs only to be given the approval of the priest, who will probably advise a good confession prior to the sacrament, depending on how malicious or innocent she was in attempting to contact marriage via civil law.

How come Roman Catholic couples with children often get an annulment for a Fee and get remarried in the Catholic church and have more children but this is different from a divorce?
Roman Catholic AnswerIf you do not understand how a couple can have children without being validly married, you need to ask your question over in the sexuality category. Catholic couples can not get an annulment for a fee. Any money that they pay is for court costs and does not affect the outcome of the ruling. A divorce is a civil decree saying that a married couple is no longer married. An annulment is a canonical court looking at a marriage and saying that the requirements for a valid marriage were not met, and thus no valid marriage ever took place. An annulment is about what happened up to and including a wedding ceremony and rules on the validly of the sacrament. A divorce dissolves a civil marriage. They are two completely different things. Having children has nothing whatsoever to do with either.

Yes. Absolutely anyone can convert to Catholicism. The issue of remarriage, if it ever comes up, is something that would have to be discussed with one's pastor.
Can one get annulment if the marriage if there was an agreement that it be temporary?
If you mean: "can one get an annulment in the Catholic Church if there was an agreement between the spouses that the marriage would be temporary" then most likely, yes. Obviously, if such a secret arrangement was made, then neither spouse entered into the marriage validly in the first place, right? The question would be: did the couple marry in the Catholic Church? If so, then they very likely deceived the priest who married them. This, however, would require proof/evidence (i.e., witnesses, etc.) in order to annul the marriage on such grounds. Why would the Church assume that what the couple is saying now is the truth? Maybe they are just looking for any excuse to annul their marriage?

What if you are Catholic and are looking for a religion on the order of Catholicism?
I don't understand the question? Are you Roman Catholic and wanting to join a religion similar to Roman Catholicism? If so, try Anglo-Catholic anglicanism or Eastern Orthodoxy or even some Lutheran denominations. Or are you looking for Catholic religious orders (i.e. societies of Catholic priests, nuns, friars and/or monks)? If so, try googleing to learn about the Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits, Benedictines and many many other groups.
