you should continue to be removed from the u.s. the divorce will cause you to have no relief if you are on your spouse's asylum application and you have to find your own form of relief. please consult a qualified immigration attorney.

a divorce from the principal will not be (by itself) a basis to terminate removal proceedings
more details are needed to answer your question fully

A divorce has nothing to do with whether or not you can get your removal case terminated.
You need to retain an experienced immigration lawyer to review all the facts and advise you accordingly.

Divorce proceedings take place in state court, while removal proceedings occur in immigration court under federal jurisdiction. The two entities are separate for your purposes therefore, yes, you will continue to be in removal proceedings after divorce. You may want to consider filing your own asylum application with the court.
