No... as the cause of action is different.

first of all check the grounds of dismissal (Whether its a technical dismissal or dismissal on merits) in former suit in which appeal is pending. n moreover appeal is pending so suit cant b called as a decided suit.. n ground is arising in ur case during pending of appeal so no ques of resjudicata will arise.. ofcourse it could b construtive resjudicata if ur abovesaid ground (related to RCR) arises earlier..

RCR and divorce are different things so the answer is NO.
