No, there is no such thing as divorce if the marriage was sacramental. Civil and "natural" marriages are viewed differently.

Protestants will (or should) understand this as well as Catholics, as Christ is extremely direct and clear on the matter in scripture. Divorcing from the sacrament simply is impossible; a man-created concept that doesn't exist and cannot ever happen under any circumstances whatsoever.

The sacramental marriage either happened or it didn't. An annulment merely acknowledges there never was sacramental marriage to begin with.

Okay. So what happens to the woman and the child? Does the Church take care of them?

Our Lord Jesus also mention divorce in the Gospels.AAABEST you should mention that you are with a break away church not in Communion with Rome.
Matt. 5:31-32 - the Lord permits divorce only for “porneia.” This Greek word generally means unlawful sexual intercourse due to either blood relations (also called incest) or nonsacramental unions. The Lord does not permit divorce for “moicheia” (adultery). It is also important to note that in these cases, a marriage never existed in the first place, so the Lord is not actually permitting divorce, but a dissolution of the unlawful union.
