In the Catholic Church, the Sacaments build on each other throughout a person's life:
Traditionally, these four are done first and in this specific order:
Baptism
Confession
Eucharist
Confirmation
_______________________
After that, you can receive either of the following:
Matrimony (if you so desire)
Holy Orders (if you so desire)
_________________
Annointing of the Sick can be done at any time it is necessary.
However, many Churches will look the other way about giving their Sacraments. My father wasn't Catholic, and my mother had to ask three churches before finding one which would baptize her children. This was back in 1983, but Church attendance has dwindled so much that the clergy no longer ask many questions where the Sacraments are concerned. So, you technically still can receive the Sacraments. There might be some clergy who refuse to give them to you, but there will be lots of others who really don't care one way or the other.

Why can't remarried Catholics receive the sacraments?
They can, under specific circumstances. The ability to receive sacraments is determined by: - how the initial marriage(s) was dissolved - how the current marriage was arranged - how the individuals live their lives. If your initial marriages were appropriately dissolved by the church See document "Annulment and Dissolution of Marriage in the Catholic Church" referenced below If you live according to Catholic principles If you were correctly married in the catholic church Then you can receive the sacraments.

Can a Roman Catholic receive sacraments after marrying an Anglican divorcee?
A person can receive the sacraments if they are free of mortal sin. This may include acting out a marriage that is invalid. A valid marriage of a Catholic is only through the Catholic church. [Note: 2 baptized persons who have never been Roman Catholic, can be validly married.] During the pre-cana process, the church will investigate all impediments (like prior divorces) and sort through them to either approve or deny an impending marriage. The Annullment process for example may be necessitated. If a Catholic is married outside the church (regardless of the spouses religion or marital status) they cannot receive the sacraments. Also, if a person is married to another person who is validly married, then those two persons are committing adultry, which is a mortal sin.

Can a Roman Catholic woman and a Roman Catholic man receive the sacrament of matrimony in a Ukrainian Catholic church?
I'm not familiar with the standing of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in relationship to the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church, which it may be, is currently in a 'schism' with the Church in Rome. This word, schism, is important. Any such church simply means that the Roman Catholic Church does not consider them preaching the same set of truths. When a Roman Catholic individual marries, they have a moral obligation to be married in the Catholic church. Thus, they should be married by a Roman Catholic priest who is in union with the Church. However, as you might have heard, exceptions can be granted. The best advice is really one that your pastor will answer. I urge you to pay him a visit and discuss this important topic. God bless you!
Can divorced Catholics marry in another church?
Yes they can. However their marriage will not be recognized by the Catholic Church. They will incur auto-excommunication and will not be eligible to receive the sacraments in a Catholic Church until they regularize their marriage and confess their sins.
