The dissolution of marriage and child support obligations are exclusive. A parent who remains married but lives apart from the family is still legally obligated to support his or her minor childrens to the extent the law requires. Even if there is no standing court order the parent should honor their responsibilities for the care of their child/children. If a court order is in place for support (which can be issued before the final divorce) the terms of such order must be adhered to.

Do you have to wait for child to be born to have divorce?
absolutely not. If you dont have to wait to get married to have a child then you do not have to wait until the child is born to get a divorce. If your question is more concerning child support or monetary issues related to the divorce, a simple answer would be that the amount of child support you may be owed will also not depend on whether you get divorced before or after the child is born.
Can your exhusband sue you for money he has given your adult children after the divorce?
No. If he chose to give your adult children money, then that was his decision and you are not obligated to reimburse him for any of it. And to take it a bit further, even if the children were still minor after the divorce and he chose to give them money, you would not be obligated to reimburse him for that, either. Child support money goes to the custodial parent for support of the children, not directly to the children.
