Yes, you can petition a second spouse as long as the first marriage was a bonafide one. The fact that you were married for 14 years answers that. You will have to show that you were dovorced from your previous husband.

Yes, assuming the first marriage was bona fide. It's going to be to your advantage to work with an attorney, so there are no issues with USCIS.

Sure. This should not be a problem. There is a question on the application for you to indicate this. In addition, you had a long marriage and 2 children, thus, there should not be any questions about the first marriage.

Yes, you can petition another spouse as long as the first one was a bona fide marriage and you would not be suspected of getting married to provide an immigration benefits to a foreign national. For that, you would need to have the supporting documentation of the bona fide nature of that and this marriage.
