My aunt falls into this category and she remains seated during communion.

Yeah, I don't even think anything of it when non-Catholics stay seated during regular weekly mass. No biggie. Although, I know plenty of divorced Catholics (no annulments either) who still take communion.

I've never seen the finger in front of the mouth thing either, in lieu of crossing arms or taking communion. IMO, staying seated is fine.

If I remember correctly from (sophomore?) religion class in Catholic high school, divorced Catholics may receive communion if they do not remarry. Divorcing is not the issue, remarrying when you are considered to be married (by the Church) is.
