More details to this question:
I was reading the N400 form and it said that I had to be married to a US citizen spouse before filing the N 400 form. Me and my wife are going through a divorce. We were together for 9 years and I have 2 kids with her. And I got my green card through her. Will I be able to become naturalized?

I believe that you have misread the form. There is nothing in the law that requires a person like you to be married to a US citizen spouse before filing the N-400 application unless you are attempting to file under the three year instead of five year rule for citizenship. If filing under the five-year rule, you should be able to file for naturalization as long as you are not barred by any of the grounds outlined in the application questions.
