The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.
Jesus said, "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9)
However there may be hope of a declaration of nullity.
The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.
Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.
Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.
With love in Christ.

Not sure exactly what you need to know here... the process or why someone would have it?
I'm going through the process right now. The majority of it is paperwork and filling out essay questions.
This site has a great Q&A section that can answer a lot for you. Hope it helps.

The rules have changed. As long as you have enough money you can buy anything now days. (You can be married 25 years and have 6 kids and still get an annulment-the Kennedy's)
