    You said your marriage was annulled. That means, in the eyes of God, there was no marriage as adjudicated by His Church, the Catholic Church.

    Since there was no marriage, there can be no divorce. So the remark in another response of "the church does not support divorce in any way" is one, not true; and two, non-sequitur to your situation. One can not obtain a divorce if one was never married in the first place.

    The Church does support civil divorce for grave reasons to provide legal separation of the spouses. The spouses are still married in the eyes of God, and therefore may not attempt another marriage.

    Also, as Catholics we RECEIVE Jesus (communion), we do not TAKE Jesus (communion).
