I am sorry to learn of your parents' marital problems and intention to divorce. That can be tough for all members of your family.
It was not clear from your question whether all the members of your family are out of status for having overstayed visitors' visas, or whether you may have achieved lawful status. If your family members are out of status, then all of you are at risk of removal/deportation, and the adults may be subject to a very harsh 10-year bar to returning to the U.S. Nonetheless, if your mother were to become divorced and then marry a U.S. Citizen, she may be able to adjust status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (get a "Green Card") notwithstanding her current unlawful presence, and it may be possible for the children (but not your father) to get Green Cards as derivative beneficiaries through your mother. If these considerations may apply, then it will be important to consult with an immigration attorney.

Immigration status has nothing to do with divorce
and the courts don't ask or care. We get divorces for illegal immigrants all the time 1 person marked this answer as good
Divorce does not cause deportation. The custody questoins are best directed to a matrimonial attorney.
