I should say... a Civil Divorce. There is no such thing as a Divorce, per se, in the Catholic Church. Annulment is supposed to be a recognition that the marriage essentially never was. The complication is that to Catholics, the Sacrament of Matrimony is one of seven sacraments - Baptism, Confirmation, Confession (Reconciliation), Eucharist, Matrimony, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick (last rites). Of these, Baptism, Confirmation, Matrimony, and Holy Orders can only be given once.
