The church is fundamentally against divorce, and doesn't recognize civil divorce.
Catholics who wish to end their marriages must undergo both a civil divorce and a church annulment, if they wish to remarry.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church's position on divorce is that in the order of the Sacrament of Matrimony, there is no such thing as divorce. In the legal order of the society in which people live, a civil divorce may be obtained for various reasons. For instance, if one of the spouses cannot remain in a marriage for good reason - their spouse is an axe murderer trying to kill them, or whatever, a civil divorce may be allowed for the physical well being of the family. An annulment is a Church ruling that no valid sacramental marriage ever occurred despite the fact that a wedding ceremony took place. In this instance, the Church requires that a civil divorce take place prior to a ruling of annulment. Please note: in neither case is a marriage "dissolved". In the first case, a civil divorce is obtained but the spouses cannot remarry as they are still validly married to each other. In the second case, they are both free to marry as the Church has determined that no valid marriage ever existed in the first place. This has been the Church's position on marriage for 2,000 years, it cannot change It's teaching on this, as it has been revealed by God.
