1) the creamy layer status of children is determined by status of his parents and not on basis of his own status or income

2) in the present case even after divorce children would be entitled to be fit of reservation as both parents fall under OBC

3) her children from first marriage would not be entitled to claim sc reservation

The dissolution of marriage does not disqualify the children from availing the benefit of reservation as the legal relationship between children and biological parents continues unabated even after the dissolution of marriage. Since both parents in this case are OBC the children can surely claim the benefit of reservation notwithstanding the fact that the marriage of their parents has been dissolved.

File a complaint to the issuing authority i.e tehsildar if the certificate has been obtained in a fraudulent manner.

This woman is not eligible for seeking reservation for herself or for the children born to a different category person.

Her marriage with a person belonging to SC community will not make her eligible or entitled to the reservation to which her spouse is entitled, also the children born to her previous husband are step children to the new spouse hence they cannot be considered as his adoptive children too therefore they are not entitled for any reservation to which their step father is entitled.

If you have proofs to prove that this had been fraudulently obtained, then you can make a complaint before the district collector or the commissioner for the welfare of SC and ST commission.
