I got married to a woman some 2 years ago and we had a child.Soon after the child's birth my wife began to have differences with my family until she decided to leave together with my child. After about 6months i got married to another woman.My question is, am i allowed to marry the catholic way as me and my past wife were married the traditional way?.

If by "the traditional way" you mean a civil ceremony, and if you and/or your first wife were Catholic at the time of the wedding, then it should be a fairly simple matter to have your first marriage declared null. You would have to do that before you could marry in the Church.
