A:
I would urge you to consult with and hire an immigration lawyer to assist you with this case in order for the lawyer to debrief and brief you, analyze, assess and evaluate your case maximize the possibilities for a successful result.
Your question requires way too many questions on my part and too many answers on your part before I can even formulate recommendations as to the course(s) of action you should take.
You may be eligible to self-petition under VAWA, or to convert your pending application to divorced spouse after you divorce, and a lot depends on who has primary custody of the kids.
