Dear Jennifer,
Talk to or make an appointment with a priest or pastor from a local, nearby Catholic parish.
You should be accepted into the Church unless there is more to your story.
- If were merely divorced, and not remarried, then there is nothing blocking you from becoming a Catholic but the priest would have to inform you that, if you wanted to remarry, you would need to petition for a process.
- If you are already remarried then we would have to do a process prior to your entering the Church as your current marriage would be invalid in our eyes.
In both cases, the process would not be an annulment but most likely a Pauline Privilege as you are unbaptized and getting baptized.
The procedure for the children would be different for the oldest than for the younger two, as that child is past the age of 7 (the age of reason), and so would need to agree (in a basic way) and also would be confirmed on the same day as [his/her] Baptism.
Fr. Jonathan
