Any divorced person –Catholic or non-Catholic– can request an annulment from the Catholic Church. It's estimated that at least 25% of Catholic annulments in the U.S. are for non Catholic marriages. In addition those individuals who petition are almost equally divided between men and women.
More often than not, individuals seek an annulment so they can remarry in the Catholic Church. In the same way a person seeks a divorce so they can remarry in the State.
However other times individuals request a Catholic annulment just so the Church will no longer consider them married to their ex-spouse.
