It depends a bit on whether you are in the USA or outside, but
generally, you will need your birth certificate, any marriage
certificates and divorce decrees for any marriages you ever had, birth
certificates for your children, passport, photos, the last two or three
tax returns, and evidence of recent income (pay stubs or the like), or
some other evidence that you will not become a public charge. If you are
applying outside the USA, you will likely also need a police certificate
(those are unavailable in a few countries; there, the requirement is
waived). Inside the USA, they instead take your fingerprints and check
with the FBI and CIA.
If you have children from a former marriage and want to have them join
you in the USA, you would also have to show that either you have sole
custody of them, or that the other parent consents (affidavit).

That, too, varies with a number of factors. I don't know the exact
current visa fee, but I believe it should be around $400 or so at a
consulate, plus the diversity visa fee (around $100), plus the cost of
the medical exam (whatever the doctor charges, probably around $100).
Applying inside the USA for adjustment of status, the fees are similar
but not the same. Most of these fees are per person, so multiply them by
the family size.

What matters more is your financial resources. As long as you can afford
to live in the USA, you should be fine.
