I’m divorced twice from two husbands that committed adultery and left. Can I get married again? I met someone who is committing himself back to God and we are forming a union with God front and center. Are we committing a moral sin?
 
You’ll have to get your marriages investigated before you will be free to marry.

Did you marry in the Church?

Your second marriage will also have to be annulled by the church. What do you mean by ‘forming a union?’ You shouldn’t be dating if your second marriage hasn’t been annulled. If you mean you are being intimate physically, then yes, you are committing a mortal sin - adultery, since you’re still married in the eyes of the church. You should talk with your priest.
 
So I’ll have the church investigate my second marriage. I have so many questions
 
Let me explain further here.

I take it from what you’ve said that your first marriage was declared invalid. This left you free to pursue a second marriage.

Assuming there are no impediments you can prove “on paper” (e.g. lack of canonical form, prior bond, consanguinity), your second marriage would be considered valid until proven otherwise.

If a person has been married more than once and any of the previous spouses are still alive, a separate investigation is required for EACH marriage. There should be a question about this on the initial nullity investigation paperwork. So, if you’ve been married twice, there would be two investigations. It sounds as if one marriage was already investigated and found to be invalid, but the second one would still need to be investigated.
