It depends if your green card is still conditional or not. If it is no longer conditional then nothing will happen to your status. If it is still conditional, and you need to file for the removal of the conditional status, if you are divorced, you will need to do that on your own (without your spouse) and the burden of proof will be greater upon you to prove that the marriage was bona fide at the time it was entered into and through its termination.
