I am worried about my kids and wants to knw if i go ahead with the divorce as she is the mother and british citizen she will get the custody and i have to leave the country. Is there any options of me switching my status as i want to be part of my kids life and see them growing up. Thanks

If successful, and subject to you passing the English Language test, and have a job, you could vary into the Parent Route 5 years.
