More details to this question:
In 2006 I got married to a US citizen who filed an I-130 petition for me, but I left my visa after we separated due to long time waiting, the petition got approved in 2007, but I have a child from this marriage ? Can I still use the petition to immigrate? does it get canceled after specific time ? What options do I have?

You will still need your husband to sponsor you to finish the application.

If you are still married to the U.S. citizen and wish to live with her, you may use the I-130 to adjust your status.

If you are no longer married to this person, you are not eligible to immigrate on this basis. You would need a new petition filed by a qualified relative or employer in order to immigrate to the US.

Divorce and remarriage would appear to be the best solution if you have a legitimate candidate for marriage.

The I-130 is based on your marriage and relationship. If your husband is unwilling to help you, you will not be able to continue the process.

Are you still married to this petitioner and is that person willing to continue the process for you.
