Yes - you can certainly leave Canada. You don't have to wait until your divorce is finalized.
Your divorce case will continue in your absence. Nonetheless, you should consult your lawyer to reconfirm this.
As you are so close to getting your citizenship, you may want to consider hosting your family on visitor visas instead of returning to your home country.
A divorce is usually very painful and traumatic. Don't lose hope. There's always light at the end of the tunnel
Depending on where you are in the proceeding, you may need to sign another affidavit but since you mentioned yoy have a lawyer, who I assume is a family lawyer, the best advice will come from him or her instead of an immigration forum full of non-lawyers.
You must sign the application form for the divorce and the affidavit for divorce before a commissioner at the family court.
Your lawyer cannot sign the divorce application form as your proxy/legal representative because he is not the person applying for divorce
