Jeff,
Tell this to your pastor so that it can be addressed
before your Confirmation. You may or may not have
a problem, depending on whether:
- her first marriage
was valid, and
- that spouse is still alive.
- Perhaps she, a Catholic, was married only civilly,
in which case, the marriage was not valid.
- Perhaps
his or her understanding of marriage was defective,
or
- Perhaps they married under some sort of pressure.
- Perhaps one of them did not want children.
All of these things, and many others, impact the
validity of a marriage. Don't worry, but get the
process started.
Your wife would have to be the one to get the process
started.
