Am I allowed to go to Confession and take communion after divorce?

[eleanorv111]

I was married in Catholic church and got divorced. Am I allowed to go to confession and take communion? My Catholic wedding has not been annulled and I have re-married in a non-denominational ceremony. Thank you for your response.
