Late onto this thread, I thought that I'd share some thoughts anyway.
While everyone realizes that it takes extra efforts to take care of two young kids, it is far from being purely negative career wise. Many love to help other people in life difficulties. If you present an engaging story of divorced mother with twins working hard to breaking through to STEM career, with spirit of perseverance and optimism, some of them would root for you and go out of way to help you out. It makes people feel good to see them making an impact in other's lives. Leading larger high tech companies really try hard to recruit women in STEM fields. Quite a few here have pointed out your 211 and math background, you should be able to cut it. When approaching some companies either directly or via references, you can try share your story and let math background, optimism and confidence shine through. If you don't feel so confident, try fake it till you make it. This may work well with recruiters of larger companies with culture of being nicer and less cut throat. With hiring teams, I'd still concentrate on conveying competence, as the teams would have deadline to meet.
There are some groups / non profit that strive to improve diversity in tech industry and recruit women in STEM careers, such as Sheryl Sanberg's lean in foundation, Ellen Pao's project include. You may want to follow them on twitter and it may lead to more groups like this that can help you out.
If one has to divorce, it is actually a good thing that you do so still in 20s or early 30s with a whole life ahead of you to build a career. I am rooting for you!
