You're out of status & accruing illegal presence since the R-2 expired. If you leave the country now, you will be barred from re-entering for 3 yrs. If you leave in March, you'll be barred for 10 yrs. You will not be able to change or adjust status, now that you are out of status, except for marriage to a U.S. citizen.
